A chemical change is different than a physical change because in a chemical change

• chemicals are used

• molecules do not physically touch

• a new substance is formed and in a physical no new substance is formed

• the change can be seen but in a physical change it cannot

Which of the following 2 are chemical reactions?

• sugar dissolving in water

• water turning into steam

• burning wood

• mixing baking soda and vinegar

• tearing paper

Which of the following examples shows that a chemical reaction has occurred? 

• A rock breaks into smaller pieces when it is struck with a hammer.
• Rust forms on a hammer that has been left outside to long. 
• A cup of water turns pink when a few drops of red food coloring are added. 
• A solid is formed when heat is removed from a sample of water. 

Four students performed four different investigations by combining different substances. Their results are shown in the table provided. In which experiment are new substances being formed?

• Experiment 1
• Experiment 2
• Experiment 3
• Experiment 4

A clear liquid from a flask is poured into another clear liquid in a beaker. Which of the following results of this procedure would indicate a new substance was formed?

• The level of the substance in the beaker is higher after the other liquid is added.
• A yellow solid forms and then settles to the bottom of the beaker.
• Small white crystals are left behind in the flask that held the first liquid.

Which of the following is an example that includes evidence of a chemical reaction?

• A sample of zinc is placed in water and it settles to the bottom
• A solid block of ice is heated and it completely melts into a liquid. 
• Sugar that is burned gives off an odor and turns brown and then black.
• A tomato is placed into a blender and chopped up into smaller pieces.

Evidence of a chemical reactions is anything that shows - 

• a new substance has formed
• a solid dissolved in a liquid
• interaction between 2 gases
• a change in the state of matter

A precipitate is a 

• liquid that forms when two solids are reacted
• a solid that forms when two liquids are mixed
• a gas that forms when vinegar and baking soda react
• a change of color in a solution

If reaction starts with 20g of reactants it should produce 

• a total of 40g of products
• a total of 10g of products
• a total of 80 g of products
• a total of 20g of products

Mr. Brady did an experiment. The mass he started with was 15 grams. How much mass should he end with?

• less than 15 grams

• more than 15 grams

• 15 grams
