Chemistry Unit Test 1 Regrade

Question #9: The reactants of a chemical reaction have_____.

 Correct Answer: chemical properties different from the products

 I understand that this is the correct answer because, in a chemical reaction, the reactants and the products are not exactly the same. For example, When two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom have a chemical reaction, they form water. The properties are different because hydrogen and oxygen are gases and water is a liquid. Many of the properties are different.
Question #11: Copper (Cu) reacts with oxygen (O) to form copper oxide (CuO). The properties of CuO are most likely_____.

 Correct Answer: Different from copper or oxygen

 I know this is the correct answer because, in a chemical reaction, the reactants and products do not have the same properties. Copper is soft and malleable, and oxygen is a gas. When they have a chemical reaction, they form copper oxide, which is a black solid. The properties are once again different.

Question #12: Which of the following forms of energy is released or absorbed in most chemical reactions?

 Correct Answer: Heat Energy

 I know this is the correct answer because for example when cooking or baking, you can see the steam coming from the reaction, meaning it is heat. Another example is when you are straightening your hair. You can see the heat, or steam coming from the reaction



Question #14: Which of the following is the best evidence for a chemical reaction?

 Correct Answer: formation of a new substance

 I know this is the right answer because, in a chemical reaction, two substances or atoms form together to create a new substance. For example, hydrogen and oxygen have a chemical reaction to create a new substance, water. Since this is what happens in a chemical reaction, this is the best evidence a chemical reaction has occurred.

Structure of the Periodic Table - 9/25-9/29

https://image.slidesharecdn.com/theperiodictable-110223090122-phpapp01/95/the-periodic-table-7-728.jpg?cb=1298451775 Summary: This week, we have been learning about how the periodic table is arranged and the different patterns that are in the rows  and columns. In the periodic table, the rows are called periods. Along the rows, the elements are organized by atomic number (the number of protons.) The rows also have the same energy level or the number of electrons. For example, in the first row, all of the elements' atoms have one energy level, and so on.The atomic mass is the number of neutrons plus the number of protons. The atomic mass can be a decimal, and it is ordered increasingly. The columns in the periodic table are called groups or families. Each family has a name. For example, group one is composed of alkali metals which is the family with Lithium, Sodium, and more. Each group also has the same number of outer, or valence electrons. The elements in group one ...

Musical Instruments and Sound- Weekly Blog (3/11-3/15)

Sound Energy - Musical Instruments by SolPass Summary We understand how sound is produced, and how sound waves can travel through different mediums, but how do musical instruments produce sound? There are hundreds of instruments in the world, producing various pitches, tones, and chords. There are three main types of instruments: wind, percussion, and string. The sound is produced differently based on the type of instrument. The first type of instrument is a string instrument. In a string instrument, the sound is created from the vibration of strings. For example, when you play guitar, you pull on the strings. As the strings vibrate, the air molecules start vibrating as well, producing sound. The next type of instruments are wind and brass instruments and are made when we blow sound into them. The shape and position of the instrument affect the overall tone and pitch. The most common kind of wind instrument is a reed instrument. Blowing on the reed causes it to vib...

Energy Transformations - Weekly Blog (1/28-2/1)

Types of Energy  by  Solar Schools Summary: You've probably heard the quote by Albert Einstein, "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another." But what are the forms of energy? There are six general energy forms: chemical, mechanical, thermal, light, electrical, and nuclear. Any form of energy can be converted into another form. There are many examples of energy transformations that happen in our everyday lives. The first energy form is chemical energy. Chemical energy is a form of potential energy and is stored in chemical substances. An example of chemical energy is gasoline that is used to power a car. The next form of energy is mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is energy released by a moving object. For example, mechanical energy is the energy that causes a soccer ball to move when kicked. Another form of energy is thermal energy and is associated with the motion of molecules. This means that it is caused by f...
