Active Chemistry Activity 2.2 and 2.3 Quiz

  1. In activity 2.2 "Elements and their properties", for Investigations step 8 you recorded your method of sorting the element cards you made. Describe that method.
     






  2. What is the difference between a physical and chemical property?








  3. Circle the properties of a metal at room temperature:
    dull poor conductor brittle
    malleable shiny good conductor
    liquid solid ductile
  4. Use these words to complete the sentences in problems 4 through 8:
    atom physical AMU precipitate
    chemical compound filtration definite proportions
    __________________ The smallest part of an element that still has the characteristics of that element.
  5. __________________ Two or more elements united in definite proportions.
  6. __________________ A unit of mass defined as 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
  7. __________________ is a method used to separate materials based upon their solubility.
  8. A __________________ property can be measured without changing the substance's chemical composition.
  9. Both protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 AMU. Helium-4 has an atomic mass of 4 AMU. Helium has 2 protons, how many neutrons does it have? _______
  10. Carbon-12 has 6 protons, how many neutrons does it have? _______
  11. A student repeats the activity 2.3 "Atoms and their masses" using a different amount of aluminum:
    1. ________ Mass of beaker
    2. ________ Mass of beaker + aluminum strip
    3. ________ Mass of CuCl2
    4. ________ Mass of dry filter paper
    5. ________ Mass of dry filter paper + red residue

    How many grams of aluminum did the student use? ________
  12. How many grams of copper did the student measure in the dry filter paper? _________
  13. What is the ratio of the mass of copper to the mass of aluminum? ________
     
     
  14. If you needed to produce 8 grams of copper using this method, how many grams of aluminum would you need to start with?
     
     
  15. How many grams of CuCl2 would you need?
