A hiker has prepared a trail mix for a hiking trip with different ingredients and amounts shown in the table. If he weighs the mix on a scale what will the most likely reading be? Why?

• The reading will be greater that 840 g because when the ingredients are mixed, new ingredients with different masses are formed.

• The reading will be less than 840 g because when the ingredients are mixes, the particles come closer together, and they occupy less space.

• The reading will be equal to 840 g because when the ingredients are mixed, the particles are rearranged, but their masses remain the same.

• The reading will be equal to 840 g because when the ingredients are mixed, the particles join together to form a new substance with the same properties.

A student melts 350 g of chocolate chips. The student concludes that after melting, there is more chocolate.

Which statement below is CORRECT?

• The student's conclusion is correct because heat causes more chocolate to form.
