2.5.4 Test Chemistry
In this test, you will apply what you have learned in the unit.
Please answer the questions below. Submit this to your teacher
when you are done.
A man sits on the grass eating a doughnut and sipping iced tea. The
sun is a glowing ball in the sky, making the air warm. He gets up and
makes sure his chainsaw is filled with gasoline. The fumes make him
cough. He starts the motor, lifts his chainsaw, and saws a branch off a
tree. The branch falls to the ground, knocking over his iced tea. By this
time the ice has completely melted. The tea pours over some ants that
were munching on doughnut crumbs. With renewed strength from the
snack, the ants grab their crumbs, lift them onto their backs, and
scurry away.
a. List the four states, or phases, of matter and give one example of
each from the story above. (8 points)
b. List two phase changes illustrated in the story and state what
phase changes the matter is experiencing. (2 points)
The first phase change could be the ice cube, as the heat cause it to
melt becoming a liquid, the second phase change in the story was the
gasoline, it was in liquid form, until heat caused it to become a gas.
c. List four kinds of energy and give one example of each from the
story above. (8 points)
The first one is the branch from the tree having gravitational potential
energy due it its position, turning into kinetic energy after its cut. The
second conversion, is the light energy from the sun turning into
thermal energy which melts the ice cube.
a. Briefly describe the four main points in Dalton's theory of the atom,
published in 1803. (4 points)
1. All matter is made from atoms, and atoms are invisible and
indestructible.
2. Atoms of the same element have the same size, mass, and
properties, and atoms of different elements have different sizes,
masses, and properties.
Atoms indivisibility has been proven wrong, as well as that atoms that
are in the same element are not identical.
The gold foil experiment showed that the atom has a small, high mass
nucleus.
c. How did Albert Einstein change Niels Bohr's picture of the atom?
(2 points)
Albert Eistein showed that an electron can jump from one orbit to
another.
d. What did Henry Moseley contribute to understanding the atom?

Alkali metals get more reactive as your move down the group, however
halogens become less reactive as you move down the group.
b. Compare the hardness of the alkali metals family with the hardness
of the alkaline earth metals family. (2 points)
