wood.
ice.
a metal.
motor oil.

Which of the following is a physical change?
sawing a piece of wood in half
burning a piece of wood
rust forming on an iron fence
a copper roof changing color from red to green

Flammability is a material’s ability to burn in the presence of
oxygen.
oxygen.
oxygen.
oxygen.

An element has a fixed composition because it contains only one type of

Measuring________________can be used to test the purity of some substances.

________________is a process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution.

Maybe you should read your textbook a little more, but:
1. Sand is a mixture of mostly quartz and many other materials
2. This question has no solution, since the water in a swimming pool contains dissolved chlorine, the suger water contains dissolved sucrose, and stainless steel has dissolved carbon and chromium.
3. A metal
4. Sawing a piece of wood in half simply changes the physical shape; the other 3 change the chemical properties of the material.

    You need to do your own homework. So, I am going to help like this:

    Which of the following is a mixture? First you need to know that a mixture is a physical combination of two or more pure substances. So, if you look each of these possiblities up, you will have your answer.

    Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? What is heterogeneous mixture? It is a mixture with different appearances in different parts. Whereas a heterogeneous mass: a dump site is a heterogeneous mass. Think about it, picture it, you will get it.

    A material that is malleable and conducts electricity is most likely___? First what is malleable?
    Main types of elements:
    Metals – generally hard, lustrous elements that are ductile, malleable, and conduct electricity.
    Nonmetals – generally gases or soft solids that do not conduct electricity.
    Metalloids – have properties between metals and nonmetals
    Knowing that, you have your answer.

    Which of the following is a physical change? You have physical change and chemical change. If rust appears on metal, that is a chemical change because it changes it’s density. If you have a block of wood and turn it to sawdust, the sawdust is still wood. But if you burn it, it is no longer wood, it has physically changed. Get it? :)

    An element has a fixed composition because it contains only one type of____? Check out your encyclopedia.

    Measuring________________can be used to test the purity of some substances.
    What is a pure substance? It is a substance that is made up of only one kind of partical and is the smae throughout. Think about that and you will have your answer.

    ________________is a process that could be used to separate dissolved particles from the liquid in a solution Particals are in constant motion. Heat will cause them to more faster and rise.

    Good luck.
