Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.12 Physical and Chemical Properties skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A teacher asks for one observable physical property and one chemical property of iron. Which pair best fits?

ASilver-gray color; density 7.9 g/cm3.

BMagnetic attraction; ability to rust in moist air.

CFlammability; reaction with oxygen.

DAbility to rust; ability to corrode.

Solution & Explanation:Magnetic attraction is a physical property, and rusting ability is chemical because it involves reaction with oxygen and water. The other pairs contain two chemical or two physical properties.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the property table in the image. Which sample card includes both physical and chemical properties?

ASample B.

BSample A.

CSample C.

DSample D.

Solution & Explanation:Sample C includes density, a physical property, and flammability, a chemical property. The other samples in the table list only physical properties.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A sample has high thermal conductivity and reacts with acid. What is the correct classification?

AThermal conductivity is physical; acid reactivity is chemical.

BBoth are physical because both can be tested in a lab.

CBoth are chemical because both depend on the sample's composition.

DThermal conductivity is chemical; acid reactivity is physical.

Solution & Explanation:Thermal conductivity describes heat transfer without changing identity. Acid reactivity describes the ability to undergo a chemical reaction.
