Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.8 Temperature and Heat skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Cup A contains ice water at 3 C, Cup B contains liquid water at 25 C, and Cup C contains steam above hot water. Which statement best combines temperature and state of matter?
ACup A is a gas because it is the coldest.
BCup B is a solid because it is in the middle.
CCup C is the hottest and includes water in the gas state, while Cup A includes solid ice.
DAll three cups must be in the same state because they contain water.
Solution & Explanation:Steam is water in the gas state and comes from the hottest cup. Ice in Cup A is solid water at the coldest temperature.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Two cups contain water. Cup A is 12 C and Cup B is 28 C. Which sentence best compares them?
ACup A is warmer, so its particles move faster.
BCup B is warmer, so its particles move faster than Cup A's particles.
CBoth cups have the same temperature because both contain water.
DCup A and Cup B are too close in temperature to compare.
Solution & Explanation:28 C is warmer than 12 C, so the particles in Cup B move faster on average than the particles in Cup A.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A jar has warm water at the bottom and a very cold lid with ice on top. After a few minutes, drops form under the lid. Why?
AWarm liquid water jumped upward and froze on the lid.
BWater vapor rose from the warm water, cooled at the cold lid, and condensed into liquid drops.
CThe lid made water from the ice only.
DThe jar became a gas and then a liquid.
Solution & Explanation:Warm water gives off water vapor. When that vapor touches the cold lid, it cools and condenses into drops.
