Be sure to mark all of your answers. 1 Safety goggles and an apron must be worn when handling chemicals because chemicals A may stain clothes B often react with the skin are difficult to pour D produce smelly fumes 4 Which drawing below represents an element? K l F G O A sweater purchased at a shop in Marker Square is advertised as being made of 60% wool fibers and 40% cotton fibers woven together. ow would a scientist classify the sweater? F Element G ompound Mixture J O J Solution 3 A scientist combines oxygen and hydrogen to form water. This combination shows that water is A a compound B an element a mixture D an atom 5 Which of the following is an everyday example of chemical change? A The melting of butter left out in the kitchen B The complete burning of charcoal The dissolving of sugar in a glass of tea D The condensation of water vapor to form rain SAISD 07 Science FMA September 09 Page 1

2 6 A student was asked to measure out 50 ml of water as accurately as possible. Which piece of equipment should the student select to accomplish this task? F Five 50 ml beakers G A 100 ml graduated cylinder A 50 ml flask J A 500 ml measuring cup 7 Which of the following statements is an example of an observed chemical phenomenon? A Sugar crystals, when placed in water, will dissolve completely. B A glass rod when heated will become soft, bend, and then melt. A small piece of gold foil floats when placed in alcohol. D An antacid tablet, when placed in water, begins to bubble and fizz. clipart.com 10 During a pizza party after school, many students picked off the olives that were on their slices of pizza. Which of the following could the pizza be used to model? F Mixture G ompound Element J Atoms 8 Which of the following is an example of a chemical change taking place? F Diamonds are used to cut glass. G Sugar can be dissolved in water. Aluminum foil floats in water but aluminum screws sink. J Yeast acts on sugar to form carbon dioxide and alcohol. 9 Why should you not wear dangling chains and bracelets or baggy clothing while performing lab activities? A The baggy clothing will absorb liquids. B Dangling jewelry could get caught on equipment. Lab coats and aprons will not cover up baggie clothing. D The metal in jewelry might become overheated and cause burns. 11 A student received a silver ring for her birthday. The ring was dropped and became bent, so the girl had to reshape it. Later in the day she wore the ring while swimming in the ocean and the ring began to tarnish and turn black. While sunbathing, the ring became hot. A chemical phenomena that the ring demonstrates is that it A will tarnish and turn black B can be bent and reshaped has a shine D conducts heat SAISD 07 Science FMA September 09 Page
