1. In the chemical change shown here, oxygen reacts with hydrogen to form water.

H H H O H

O O + →
H H H O H

a. The compound that is made in this reaction is: …………………………………………………………………

b. The elements that make this compound are: ……………………………………………………………………
c. The reactants in this reaction are: ………………………………………………………………………………..
d. How many molecules of water were produced? ………………………………………………………………..

→

Magnesium Oxygen …………………………………

b. Write the name of the product in the space below the diagram.

When an acid is added to a metal it bubbles and gives off a gas. What is the name of the gas?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

c. How would you test for this gas?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
 d. Complete these word equations.

i. Zinc + Oxygen → ………………………………………

ii. ………………………. + ………………………………… → Copper sulphide

e. The products of a chemical reaction contain the elements, magnesium, hydrogen, and chlorine. What
elements are present in the reactants?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

3. Which two elements react together to make the compound sulfur dioxide?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

4. Can you recall the formula (chemical representation) for these two compounds?

Water: …………………………………..

Carbon dioxide: ………………………..

Methane: ……………………………….

5. In this exercise you will plot a graph of some data for a metal-acid reaction and interpret the results.

Arun and Marcus reacted a meta with an acid. They used the apparatus shown in the diagram to measure
the volume of a gas given off when acid was added to the metal. They measured the volume of the gas
only when all the metal had disappeared.

The boys investigated how changing the mass of metal used would change the volume of gas produced.
 a. Plot the data in a graph on your notebook.

b. What conclusions can you make from the results?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

c. If you did this experiment but only had measuring cylinders that held 100 cm3 what problem would you
have in getting accurate results?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

d. The reactants used in this investigation were zinc and sulfuric acid. What are the products?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

e. If magnesium and hydrochloric acid had been used, what would the products have been?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

6. True or false? Dissolving is an example of a chemical reaction. Explain why.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

7. Answer the following questions. Only one answer is correct.

What happens to atoms during a chemical reaction?

Atoms are dissolved
Atoms are rearranged
Atoms are destroyed
Atoms are created

Which of these is an example of a chemical reaction?

Water boiling
Water freezing
Ice melting
Cooking

What type of chemical reaction releases energy from a fuel?

Burning
Decomposition
Respiration

What is the name of the compound which is made when iron reacts with sulfur?
Iron sulfide
Hydrogen sulfide
Sulfur dioxide

What is the name of the compound which is made when carbon reacts with oxygen?
Oxygen carbide
Water
Carbon dioxide

Which is the correct chemical word equation to show the reaction of carbon with oxygen?
Carbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide
Carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide → carbon + oxygen

8. Arun and Zara investigate how effective medicines for

indigestion are.

They test five antacids to see how much acid they will
neutralize.

They add 4 g of powdered antacid, 1 g at a time, to 25 cm3

of acid with pH of 2.

After each addition of antacid, they check the pH with a pH

meter.

a. Write the results in the table.

pH
Antacid
powder
After 0g After 1g ………………. ………………. ……………….

A ………………. ………………. ………………. ………………. ……………….

….. ………………. ………………. ………………. ………………. ……………….

….. ………………. ………………. ………………. ………………. ……………….

….. ………………. ………………. ………………. ………………. ……………….

 b. On the grid below, label axes for mass of powdered antacid horizontally, and for pH vertically. Plot the
results form the table to produce five separate line graphs, one for each of the five powders.

Label each of the line graphs.

c. Which variables did Arun and Zara keep the same to make this a fair test?
………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………..

d. Which antacid(s) had the biggest effect on pH?

………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………..

e. Which antacid(s) increased the pH most quickly?

………………………………………………………………………….……………………………………………………..

f. Which antacid(s) had the least effect on pH?

13. A scientist compared the acidity of four gases to see which gas might cause acid rain.

She used four balloons to collect the gases.

She then bubbled the gases, in turn, through a fresh sample of green, neutral, universal indicator solution.

Three of the gases caused the indicator to change colour. The scientist added drops of alkali to the indicator
until the indicator changed back to green.

Here results are shown in the table below.

Use information in the table opposite to answer part (i) and part (ii) below.

(i) Which gas dissolved to form the most acidic solution? …………………………
Explain your choice.
