Based on your observation of the liquid, you know a few things to be true:

1) The liquid is clear. Since cola is brown in color and not clear, this eliminates cola.

2) The liquid has an odor. Since water is odorless, this eliminates water.

鉴于可用答案的选择,这意味着那t the liquid COULD be bleach, but of course you haven't proven that, you just haven't eliminated it as a possibility. There are many clear liquids that have an odor, so you can't definitively say it's bleach, but you can rule out odorless or colorful liquids. That's why the answer is that the liquid could be bleach, and cannot be cola or water.

The answer is baking soda. Baking soda is a common household product that is a base. Vinegar is an acid. Acids and bases react chemically when combined.

The answer is "it can be used to make other things." This is not a property of matter. Some common properties of matter are: color, luster (how shiny it is), texture, inertia, mass, weight, volume, density and specific gravity.

The answer is "all of these." This is not a property of matter. Some common properties of matter are: color, luster (how shiny it is), texture, inertia, mass, weight, volume, density and specific gravity.

The answer is a staple, because a staple has all of the properties listed. An ice cube does not exist as a solid at room temperature. A wagon is not 1 cm long and cannot be bent with your hand. A pair of scissors is also not a centimeter long.

Water vapor is a gas, and you may have heard the term when discussing the water cycle or evaporation. When thinking about the three states of matter that can describe a substance, it can be either a solid, liquid, or gas. These can be hot or cold by definition, colorless, light or heavy, but only one ca spread through their air with no definite shape; that is a gas. A gas has no shape and would spread throughout the air; if it is trapped in a container, it will continue to move about the container and not remain stationary.

Two properties that describe both liquids and solids are a definite mass and volume but not a definite shape. The liquid takes the shape of the container it is placed within, while solids have an actual fixed shape. If you put water in a bowl, it will be bowl-shaped. If you put liquid in a bottle, it will be bottle-shaped. If you place an ice cube in these same containers, they will remain an ice cube shape unless they melt into a liquid.

The statement “The physical properties of matter can only be gathered through observation.” is false. The physical properties of matter can be gathered through measurement AND observation. Using the five senses to collect information about the material or matter is just as crucial as taking concrete measures like the mass or volume. Classification and categorization of material are best done through a combination of observation and measurement.

None of the physical properties listed below can be determined through measurement. A material's freezing point can be determined by keeping track of the temperature the material is exposed to colder and colder temperatures until it freezes. The temperature this happens is decided after multiple trials determine its freezing point. A material's boiling point is discovered by measuring a rising temperature until the material comes to a rolling boil. Both of these physical properties are measured with a thermometer. Finally, whether a material conducts electricity depends on what the sample is made up of. Things like wood, plastic, and cloth do not conduct electricity well, while metal and copper do. The electrical conductivity can be calculated by measuring the resistance, area, and length of the test material. You can also use a four-terminal ohmmeter for greater accuracy. All of these physical properties require testing and the use of measurement to determine.

The statement "Color is a physical property that is determined through observation." is true. Color cannot be measured with a tool but is a physical property that is gathered using one of the five senses. Our sense of sight allows us to see color and make determinations about what we are observing. We would not use a ruler or thermometer to determine a material's color.
