Mechanical waves are classified according to

• their size.

• their shape.

• how they move.

• their source.

The only sure evidence for a chemical reaction is

• the formation of a gas.

• a color change.

• the production of one or more new substances.

• changes in properties.

The principle of conservation of mass is true

• only for reactions that take place in open systems.

• only for reactions that take place in closed systems.

• for reactions in both open and closed systems.

• for no reactions at all.
