 1. 

A liquid does not have a definite shape, but it does have a definite volume. _________________________

 

 2. 

Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid. _________________________

 

 3. 

When the temperature is constant, the volume of a gas will decrease as the pressure decreases. _________________________

 

 4. 

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. _________________________

 

 5. 

In a flexible container, when the temperature of a gas increases, the volume of the gas will increase. _________________________

 

 6. 

The type of graph that results when the volume of a gas is measured as its pressure is changed (at constant temperature) is a straight line. _________________________

 

 7. 

A cake baking is an example of a chemical change. _________________________

 

 8. 

Energy that comes from the chemical bonds within matter is called thermal energy. _________________________

 

 9. 

Condensation, the change of state from a liquid to a solid, is the reverse of melting. _________________________

 

 10. 

In every chemical reaction, the total amount of energy stays the same. _________________________

 

Essay
 

 11. 

Compare solids, liquids, and gases in terms of their shapes and volumes.
 

 12. 

Suppose you buy some inflated party balloons that are at room temperature (about 20°C). What will happen to those balloons if you take them outside on a cold day? Explain.
 

 13. 

Explain why a truck tire that has the correct air pressure inside a building at room temperature (about 20°C) is more likely to explode when driven in hot weather than in cold weather.
 

 14. 

Explain what happens as a puddle dries after a rainstorm.
 

 15. 

Explain how bakers use energy to control chemical reactions when baking muffins.
 

 16. 

Explain how the motion of particles differs in gases, liquids, and solids.
 

 17. 

Compare two graphs. The first graph results when the temperature of a gas is changed and the volume is measured. The second graph results when the volume is changed and the pressure is measured. Explain why the shapes of the graphs are the same or different.
 

 18. 

Explain why sweating on a hot day can make a person feel cooler.
