9. A 40 g jewel has a density of 2.5 g/mL. It is submerged in a graduated cylinder that has 15
mL of water already in it. When the jewel is placed inside the graduated cylinder, what will the
new reading be? (HINT: Calculate the volume of the jewel first and use GRASP).

G: m = 40 g, D = 2.5 g/mL, Vi = 15 mL
R: Vf = ?, Vobject = ?
A: Vobject = m/D Vf = Vobject + Vinitial
S: Vobject = (40)/(2.5) = 16 + 15
= 16 mL = 31 mL
P: Therefore the final reading of the graduated cylinder will be 31 mL.

10. For each of the properties listed below: give an explanation and identify if it is a physical or
chemical property.
a) lustre: Physical: how well an object reflects like
b) malleability: Physical: how easily an object can be re-shaped
c) ductility: Physical: the ability of an object to be stretched into a wire
d) combustability: Chemical: the ability to burn in oxygen
e) reacts with acid: Chemcial: how an object reacts with acid
f) conductivity: Physical: how well an object can conduct electricity
g) solubility: Physical: how well a chemical can dissolve in water
h) hardness: Physical: how well an object can resist pressure
i) reacts with water: Chemical: how an object interacts with water
j) state: Physical: solid, liquid, or gas
k) brittleness: Physical: how easily the object breaks

11. a) Identify the following substances as pure substances or mixtures.

b) Once you have completed a), identify the type of mixture or pure substance each
substance is.
i) raisin bran cereal __mixture___ __mechanical mixture___
ii) shaving cream __mixture_________ __solution_____
iii) pure water __pure substance__ __compound___________

14. Complete the following paragraphs on the atom.

Matter is made up of small particles called _atoms_. There are smaller pieces that make up
atoms called _subatomic_ _particles_, of which there are three types; _protons__,
__neutrons___ and __electrons___.
Most of the mass of the atom is located in its core called the _nucleus_ which contains
__neutrons__ which are neutral (no charge) and _protons_ which are positively charged.
__electrons_, which are negatively charged, are thought to move around the core in orbits.
