Two different liquids are poured together in an open container. Bubbles begin to form. After the bubbling stops, it is determined that the total weight of the two liquids is less than before they were poured together. Which best describes this observation?

• Some of the atoms during the reaction escaped into the air.

• Some of the atoms during the reaction were destroyed.

• Some of the atoms during the reaction became heavier.

• Some of the atoms during the reaction changed to a different kind of atom.

This table provides information about some group 1 elements.

Which is the best estimate of the melting point of Rubidium (Rb)?

• 25 degrees Celsius

• 40 degrees Celsius

• 75 degrees Celsius

• 184 degrees Celsius

This is a chemical reaction for the decomposition of carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide.

How does the reaction support the Law of Conservation of Mass?

• Several molecules of water are produced.

• The mass of carbon atoms is reduced during the reaction.

• The mass of the atoms in the reactant equals the mass of the atoms in the products.

• The mass of hydrogen atoms is the only thing that remains the same before and after the reaction.

• nonreactive gases, nonreactive metals, highly reactive metals, metalloids, reactive nonmetals, reactive gases

Which statement is true about a chemical reaction?

• The physical states of the atoms in the reactants determine the products.

• Some of the atoms in the reactants will be a part of the products.

• The number of atoms in the reactants determines the products.

• All of the atoms in the reactants will be a part of the products.
