Are all atoms larger than a water molecule?

• Yes. All atoms are bigger than a water molecule.

• No. Water is made up of three atoms so all atoms can't possibly be bigger than a water molecule.

• Depends on the atom

• Depends on the molecule

Is the mass the same for a 50 mL sample of liquid water and a 100 mL sample of liquid water?

• Yes. The 100mL sample would have more water molecules and therefore, the same mass.

• No. The 100mL sample would have more water molecules and therefore, more mass.

• Depends on the temperature

• Depends on the pressure

Is the boiling point the same for a 50 mL sample of liquid water and a 100 mL sample of liquid water?

• Yes. Boiling point does not depend on the sample size.

• No. Smaller samples will boil faster.

• Depends on the temperature

• Depends on the pressure

What will happen to the objects in this table when tossed into water?

(Use the formula D=m/v to help you.)

• Both objects will float

• Both objects will sink

• Object 1 will float and Object 2 will sink

• Object 1 will sink and Object 2 will float

Are melting and boiling point determined by the size of the sample of matter?

• Yes. Boiling point is not an identifying property of matter. The boiling point of a type of matter will be different depending on how big the sample is.

• No. Boiling point is an identifying property of matter. The boiling point of a type of matter will be the same regardless of the sample size.

• Depends on the substance

• Depends on the pressure
