Q10 (True/False)

The questions are related to comparing three samples (1, 2, 3) of the same substance.
The questions are related to characteristics of mass, shape, volume, kinetic energy in Sample 1, 2, and 3.

Q11 (Concept Map)

The term that correctly fills in X is 'pure substance'.
The term that correctly fills in Y is 'homogeneous mixture'.

Q12 (Water in a Lake)

Water in Lake Mendota is a homogeneous mixture.
Evidence should be provided to support the answer. (Further details are missing from the given text).

Q13 (Element Classification)

The correct table identifying elements and metalloids is (B).
- Zn is a metal
- Ca is a metal
- P is a metalloid
- Si is a metalloid

Q14 (Element Properties)

The unknown element tested is likely iron (Fe) based on conductivity, luster, and magnetic properties.

Q15 (Concept Map - Properties of Metals)

The term represented by X is 'malleable'.

Q16 (Cooking Pans and Electrical Wires)

Metals, like aluminum and copper, are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Q17 (Periodic Table)

The questions requested the classification of elements in the periodic table.
Further details are missing from the given text.

Q18 (Sink or Float)

Substance 1 most likely has the highest density.
Substance 4 most likely has the lowest density.

Q19 (Amelia's Experiment)

The egg sank at the beginning, meaning it's heavier than water.
With the addition of salt, the water became denser (more dense than the egg), allowing it to float.

Q20 (Hot vs. Cold Water Density)

Hot water's density is less than cold water as the molecules move faster and spread further apart.

Q21 (Density Investigation - Diagram)

The diagram shows an investigation of density through observations of how some substances sink or float on water.

Q22 (Density Column - Liquid Identification)

The correct order, from top to bottom, in the density column is: Water, Rubbing Alcohol, Soap, Milk, Honey.
