Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.11 Classification of Matter skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the particle diagram for Sample V. It shows two kinds of molecules, XY and Z2, evenly distributed in one gas container. What is the most defensible classification?

APure compound because all particles are molecules

BPure element because Z2 has identical atoms

CHeterogeneous mixture because gases always separate by mass

DHomogeneous mixture because more than one particle type is evenly distributed

Solution & Explanation:The diagram contains two different particle types in a uniform arrangement. That evidence supports a homogeneous mixture, not a single pure substance.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A laboratory mixture is prepared with exactly 5.0 g of sand and 5.0 g of iron filings every time. Why is the sample still not a compound?

AFixed masses always prove a chemical formula.

BAny solid sample must be a pure element.

CThe components are physically combined and can retain their identities even if the recipe uses fixed masses.

DA compound can only contain liquids and gases.

Solution & Explanation:A recipe can use fixed masses without forming chemical bonds or a chemical formula. Sand and iron remain separate substances in a mixture.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the bottle table. Which bottle is not a mixture?

ABottle 1

BBottle 3

CBottle 2

DBottle 4

Solution & Explanation:Bottle 3 contains only ethanol molecules, so it is a pure compound. The other bottles contain multiple substances physically combined.
