Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.8 Graph and Interpret Data for Matter Changes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A classmate says, 'The salt vanished because it is gone from sight.' Which response best uses graph or table evidence to answer?
ANo, because the closed container had the same total mass before and after, so the salt is still part of the system.
BNo, because line graphs are always better than tables.
CYes, because warm water destroys solids.
DYes, because dissolved matter cannot be measured.
Solution & Explanation:Equal before and after mass in a closed system is evidence that the salt did not vanish from the system.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which summary would be best in a class report about these investigations?
AIf a solid cannot be seen, it no longer has mass.
BBar graphs should never be used in science.
CTemperature proves matter disappears.
DMelting and dissolving can change how matter looks or how fast it changes, but students should use mass data from a closed system to test whether the amount of matter stayed the same.
Solution & Explanation:The best summary connects the visible changes to the data that test conservation of matter.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
In three sealed trials, the mass before mixing is 205 g, 205 g, and 205 g. If matter is conserved, what is the total of the three after-mixing masses, in grams?
Solution & Explanation:If each trial stays 205 g after mixing, then the total is 205 + 205 + 205 = 615 g.
