A student wanted to make a salad. The student weighed each vegetable before cutting and placing it in the salad. Which best describes the weight of the salad compared to the total weight of the vegetables?

• The total weight of the vegetables will be the same as the weight of the salad because the vegetables did not lose or gain weight.

• The total weight of the vegetables will be more than the weight of the salad, because cutting the vegetables increased their weight.

• The total weight of the vegetables will be less than the weight of the salad, because the vegetables weigh less when they are cut.

• The weight of the salad will be more than the total weight of the vegetables, because the vegetables were chemically changed.

Which of these are chemical changes to matter? (Select all that apply.)
