Access Dates:
Wednesday, May 12 – Tuesday, May 25
During the time that the test is available, you may
take it anytime you wish and as many times as you
want. Only the last submission will be saved and
graded.
I made it available for more time than I originally
noted in the syllabus. The only reason I did this was
because I assume most of you may want to work on
this test on evenings and weekends.
General Information



The questions have been formulated by me
(Instructor) and the Science Instructional
Committee. I did apply this change in order to
make the test content more related to our
seminars and discussions.
The test consists of 30-multiple choice
questions.
Study Guide sent by e-mail and posted in
DocSharing.

A chemical property of a substance is how the
substance reacts with other substances and
what new products may form.
A physical property describes the substance’s
characteristics.
An example of a chemical property is how
substances react to heat (flammability) or acid.
An example of a physical property is the
melting point or density of a substance.
Solution: Practice Question

Water:
–
–

Physical properties: it melts at 0 C, boils at 100 C
(at sea level), transparent, odorless, density is 1.0
g/cm3.
Chemical properties: reacts with some metals like
Calcium quickly, reacts with other metals slowly to
form rust. Doesn’t burn.
Salt:
–
–
Physical: white, crystalline, high melting point.
Chemical: doesn’t burn, doesn’t react with acid.

Mass Relations

Atomic Mass vs. Molecular Mass:
– Atomic Mass: Mass of the atom of an element.
– Molecular Mass: Mass of a molecule; Sum of the atomic
masses of the atoms in a molecule.
– amu: atomic mass units.

From the Periodic Table, we can obtain atomic masses:
C = 12.01 amu
Ca = 40.08 amu
H = 1.008 amu
K = 39.10 amu
P = 30.97 amu
S = 32.07 amu
O = 16.00 amu
