What this covers

The questions

  1. A student dissolves 15 g of salt in enough water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the concentration in grams per litre?
  2. Two identical beakers hold the same volume of liquid. Beaker A holds honey, beaker B holds water. A marble is dropped into each. What will happen, and why?
  3. A block has a mass of 240 g and a volume of 300 cm3. What is its density in grams per cubic centimetre?
  4. Using the block above, predict what happens when it is placed in water and explain the prediction.
  5. Which of these are true of a hydraulic system? Select all that apply.
  6. A force of 60 N is applied to a piston with an area of 0.02 m2. What pressure does it produce, in pascals?
  7. A student says a solution is saturated. Which observation best supports that claim?
  8. Warming a solution usually lets more solid solute dissolve. Which explanation fits the particle model?
