MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which Of These Is The Best Definition Of Matter?
A. The Pull Of Gravity On An Object.
B. Anything That Has Weight And Volume.
C. Anything That Has Mass And Occupies Space.
D. Anything That Is Directly Proportional To Weight.
E. The Measure Of The Amount Of Space An Object Occupies.
ANS: C
Matter Is Defined As Anything That Has Mass And Occupies Space. Mass Is A Measure
Of The Amount Of Matter In An Object, While Space Refers To The Volume It Takes
Up. Weight, On The Other Hand, Depends On Gravity, So It Is Not A Reliable
Measure Of Matter.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 3
2. Which Of These Statements Is Correct?
A. The Amount Of Carbon On Earth Is Essentially Constant.
B. The Amount Of Carbon On Earth Fluctuates With The Seasons.
C. The Amount Of Carbon On Earth Is Increasing Due To Plant And Animal Growth.
D. The Amount Of Carbon On Earth Is Decreasing Due To Consumption Of Carbon-
Based Fuels.
E. Both B And C Are Correct.
ANS: A
The Law Of Conservation Of Mass Tells Us That Matter Is Neither Created Nor
Destroyed In Chemical Reactions. Therefore, The Total Amount Of Carbon On Earth
Remains Constant; It Only Changes Form Between Compounds Such As CO₂,
Carbohydrates, And Hydrocarbons.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 5
3. The French Chemist Antoine Lavoisier Found That The Weight Of Objects Before
Burning And The Weight Of The Products After Burning Were Equal. He Concluded
That The Total Weight Did Not Change During A Process. Which Of These Best
Describes Lavoisier's Conclusion?
A. From Observation, Lavoisier Created A Scientific Law.
B. From Observation, Lavoisier Created A Scientific Theory.
C. From Scientific Law, Lavoisier Created A Scientific Theory.
D. From Experimentation, Lavoisier Created A Scientific Law.
, E. From Observation, Lavoisier Created A Scientific Conclusion.
ANS: A
Lavoisier’s Experiments Led To The Law Of Conservation Of Mass, A Scientific Law
Derived From Repeated Observations That Mass Is Constant During Chemical
Changes. Laws Summarize Consistent Patterns In Data Rather Than Explaining Why
They Occur.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 6
4. When Using The Scientific Method, Before Experiments Are Done A ________ Should
Be Established.
A. Hypothesis
B. Law
C. Theory
D. Conclusion
ANS: A
A Hypothesis Is A Tentative Explanation Or Prediction Made Before Conducting
Experiments. It Guides The Experimental Design And Provides A Statement That Can
Be Tested And Either Supported Or Refuted By Data.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 8
5. A Statement Which Summarizes The Data Obtained From A Series Of Observations Is
Known As A(N) ________.
A. Observation
B. Law
C. Theory
D. Conclusion
E. Experiment
ANS: B
A Scientific Law Summarizes Consistent Results Or Relationships Observed In Nature,
Often Expressed Mathematically. Unlike A Theory, It Does Not Attempt To Explain
The Underlying Cause Of The Observed Behavior.
PTS: 1 REF: P. 8
6. Which Of These Is Not Part Of The Scientific Method?
A. Observation
B. Law
C. Theory
D. Conclusion
E. Experiment
ANS: D
The Major Components Of The Scientific Method Include Observation, Hypothesis
