Vinegar is added to milk. Clumps of white solid are formed that can be separated from the remaining clear liquid. There is no noticeable temperature change. The evidence for a chemical reaction is the

• formation of a solid substance.

• odor of each substance.

• separation of two substances.

• constant temperature of the substances.

When you heat a sample of a gas, what happens to the particles that make up that gas?

• They move faster and spread apart.

• They move slower and become more dense.

• They become much smaller and take up less space.

• They become much larger and take up more space.

How can the law of conservation of mass apply to a burning log, if all that remains of it is ash?

• The ash has the same mass as the log, although a large percentage of it blows away.

• The law of conservation of mass applies to changes of state but not to chemical reaction

• The law of conservation of mass applies to substitution and displacement reactions, but not to combustion reactions.

• The masses of the gases released into the air plus the mass of ash equal the mass of the log before burning.

What is the main principle behind the law of conservation of matter?

• Mass does not change phase during a reaction.

• The total mass does not change during a reaction.

• Heat is added during a reaction for the mass to remain constant.

• Mass will always remain constant unless a change has occurred.
