The 20 questions

  1. Why is the mass of a metal oxide greater than the original metal?

    • Atoms shrink
    • Oxygen combines
    • Hydrogen escapes
    • Heat is added
  2. What happens to the mass when calcium carbonate is heated in an open container?

    • It decreases
    • It doubles
    • It increases
    • It stays constant
  3. In the thermal decomposition of a metal carbonate, what leaves as a gas?

    • Hydrogen
    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Nitrogen
  4. Why does magnesium increase in mass when burned in air?

    • Carbon is absorbed
    • Nitrogen is lost
    • Oxygen is added
    • Water is formed
  5. Why does copper oxide weigh more than the copper used to make it?

    • Oxygen reacted
    • Copper expanded
    • Heat added mass
    • Nitrogen reacted
  6. Limestone (CaCO3) decomposes in an open tube and the solid mass falls from 10 g to 5.6 g. What is the gas?

    • Water vapour
    • Oxygen
    • Hydrogen
    • Carbon dioxide
  7. A metal is 5 g and its oxide is 8 g after burning in air. How much oxygen reacted?

    • 13 g
    • 8 g
    • 3 g
    • 5 g
  8. Why does an enclosed system show no mass change during a reaction?

    • No substances escape
    • Gases are destroyed
    • Mass is lost
    • Reactions stop
  9. What best explains a mass loss during a reaction in an open flask?

    • Solid expanded
    • Volume decreased
    • Gas escaped
    • Heat destroyed mass

    • 48 g
    • 80 g
    • 40 g
    • 64 g
  11. What is a non-enclosed system?

    • Mass is conserved
    • Reactions cannot occur
    • Nothing can enter
    • Gases can escape
  12. Why does a metal carbonate lose mass when heated?

    • Metal evaporates
    • Carbon dioxide escapes
    • Water is created
    • Oxygen is absorbed
  13. Which reaction in an open container shows an increase in mass?

    • Melting ice
    • Dissolving salt
    • Burning magnesium
    • Heating carbonate
  14. Calcium carbonate (Mr 100) is heated and all the carbon dioxide (Mr 44) escapes. What mass of carbon dioxide is released from 100 g of calcium carbonate?

    • 100 g
    • 56 g
    • 22 g
    • 44 g
  15. What happens to the mass of iron when it rusts in air?

    • It increases
    • It decreases
    • It stays same
    • It halves
  16. What is the best conclusion when a heated solid loses mass in an open crucible?

    • Gas escaped
    • Solid melted
    • Oxygen was gained
    • Heat added mass
  17. In a closed system, how does the mass of products compare to reactants?

    • Becomes zero
    • Always decreases
    • Stays the same
    • Always increases

    • 15.9 g
    • 7.95 g
    • 19.0 g
    • 12.7 g

    • Enclosed container
    • Bunsen burner
    • Evaporating basin
    • Open beaker
