Answer briefly. Show calculations if needed.

1. A student wishes to determine the density of an irregularly shaped fishing weight to
determine if it is made from a pure metal, lead in this case, or an alloy. Describe a
practical process, utilizing common lab equipment, by which this measurement could be
made. The student discovers that the density of the object is 11.30 g/cm3, and concludes
5

that it is indeed made from pure lead (leads density is reported to be 11.34 g/cm3 at
room temperature). Discuss the validity of the claim and possible sources of error that
would invalidate the conclusions made.
2. Classify the following as either physical or chemical changes, and provide a brief
explanation for each choice:
a) A tires tread wears down with use.
b) An iron poker in a fire begins to glow red.
c) A mixture of amino acids is combined to create a protein.
