Quiz for Lesson 4 Laws of Matter
A. Knowledge Check Question
Direction:
a) Read and answer the questions below. Write your response based on the topic yesterday.

1) What is the difference between the law of constant composition and the law of multiple proportions?

B. Check Your Understanding

Match the terms in the box to the phrases, or definitions below. You may use the terms in the box more than
once.
a) law of conservation of mass
b) law of constant composition
c) law of multiple proportion
d) phlogiston
e) Antoine Lavoisier
f) Georg Ernst Stahl
g) Joseph Proust
h) John Dalton

________1. It is the Greek word for inflammable.

________2. He discovered the law of conservation of mass.
________3. He proposed the phlogiston theory.
________4. He conceptualized the law of multiple proportions.
________5. It states that if a compound is broken down into its constituent elements, the masses of the
constituents will always be in the same proportions.
________6. He experimented on metal compounds, metal oxides, carbonates, and sulfides.
________7. It states that when two elements form a series of compounds, the masses of one that
combine with a fixed mass of the other are in the ratio of integers.
________8. It states that the total mass of the reactants is the same as the total mass of the
products.

Using the diagram below, create a timeline of the discovery of the fundamental laws of matter.
Each box should have a year, name of discovery, and its proponent. (Each box is worth 3
points. The whole time line is 12 points.).

Ponder Question:
1. Heat increases the energy of the particles of matter. When water is
heated for some time in a tightly closed container, the water
undergoes no change in mass. When water is heated for some time
in a kettle, there is a loss of mass. Does the second
observation violate the law of conservation of mass? Explain.
