Mr. Kim shows his students a mixture of plastic beads and metal beads. He then uses a magnet for demonstration. What is he MOST LIKELY demonstrating?

• making a solution
• separating a mixture
• creating a chemical change
• changing the state of matter

Mr. Kim lit a candle and described to his students that some of the wax is burning while some of the wax is melting. Student A states that these are both physical changes. Students B states that these are both chemical changes. Which statement BEST describes the students' conclusions?

• Student A is correct.
• Student B is correct.
• Both are incorrect, because burning wax is a chemical change and melting wax is a physical change.
• Both are incorrect, because burning wax is a physical change and melting wax is a chemical change.

What does it mean to dilute a solution?

• lower the concentration of solute per solvent
• increase the concentration of solute per solvent
• no more solute can be dissolved in the solution
• a solution contains more of the solute than the saturated solution can hold
