Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.32 Particle Model and States of Matter skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A covered beaker contains 50 g of a pure liquid at first. After heating, the beaker still contains 50 g of the same substance, but the substance now fills the entire container. Which explanation best fits the particle model?
AThe particles stopped moving and became a solid
BThe liquid particles were replaced by gas particles with no mass
CThe same particles gained energy, moved faster, and spread farther apart so the substance changed to a gas
DThe beaker created extra empty particles
Solution & Explanation:The mass staying 50 g shows the amount of matter stayed the same. Filling the entire container shows the substance became a gas with particles far apart.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A mothball in a sealed closet slowly gets smaller over several weeks without first forming a puddle. Which claim is most accurate?
AOnly temperature changes in liquids, not solids
BParticles at the surface gain enough energy to enter the gas state directly, and those gas particles spread through the air
CThe closet melts the mothball into an invisible liquid
DThe solid particles are destroyed
Solution & Explanation:This is sublimation: particles leave the solid directly as a gas and then spread through the air.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
The image shown includes four labeled particle models for dry ice changing over time. Which model best represents sublimation?
AModel A
BModel B
CModel C
DModel D
Solution & Explanation:Sublimation is a direct change from solid to gas, so the correct model goes from a solid arrangement straight to particles far apart in the gas state with no liquid stage.
