Here are the answers to the questions provided:
8. How is density calculated given mass and volume?
- Answer: Mass divided by volume
9. Which of the following is a unit of volume of liquids?
- Answer: Liters
10. Object A has a mass of 12 g and a density of 3 g/cm³. Object B has a mass of 12 g and a density of 5 g/cm³. Which object has a greater volume and by how much?
- Calculation:
- Volume of Object A = Mass / Density = 12 g / 3 g/cm³ = 4 cm³
- Volume of Object B = Mass / Density = 12 g / 5 g/cm³ = 2.4 cm³
- Answer: Object A, by 1.6 cubic centimeters
11. The properties of a cube are listed below: Density = 40 g/cm³, Length of side = 2 cm. What is the mass of the cube?
- Calculation:
- Volume of the cube = side³ = 2 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm = 8 cm³
- Mass = Density × Volume = 40 g/cm³ × 8 cm³ = 320 g
- Answer: 320 g
12. What best describes the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid?
- Answer: Melting point
13. Which of the following is an intensive property?
- Answer: Magnetism
14. Which substances have high thermal conductivity?
- Answer: Iron and Aluminum
15. Why is Sue's table incorrect?
- Answer: Cork is a bad conductor of heat.
16. What was the independent variable in this experiment?
- Answer: Type of wire used
17. Part 1: Is the value of Q less than, greater than, or equal to the value of P?
- Answer: Q is less than P.
Part 2: Explain your answer for Part 1.
- Explanation: The density of silver (19.3 g/cm³) is greater than that of iron (7.8 g/cm³). Since mass is given for both substances, the density of a substance is defined as mass per unit volume. A greater density (like that of silver) implies that for the same mass, the volume must be smaller. Therefore, for 200 g of both substances, the volume of silver (which represents Q) would be less than the volume of iron (which represents P).
18. Part 1: Which substance has a higher solubility?
- Answer: Substance A
Part 2: Explain your answer for Part 1.
- Explanation: Higher solubility is indicated by a smaller amount of undissolved substance remaining after mixing with water at different temperatures. In the observations, Substance A shows decreasing undissolved mass from 12 g at 20 °C to 8 g at 80 °C, while Substance B shows a much larger amount of undissolved substance ranging from 45 g at 20 °C to 31 g at 80 °C. Since Substance A has less undissolved mass at every temperature, it has a higher solubility compared to Substance B.
