A student observes that a mixture of two substances produces bubbles and a temperature change. How can the student use data to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred?

By analyzing the formation of gas and temperature change as evidence of a chemical reaction

By noting only the color change

By ignoring the temperature change

By stating that all mixtures are chemical reactions

A student designs an experiment to test the strength of an electromagnet by changing the number of coils. How should the student use evidence to support their conclusion?

By measuring the number of paper clips picked up and relating it to the number of coils

Given a model of particles in a solid, liquid, and gas, how can a student explain the effect of adding thermal energy on particle motion and state?

By showing that adding thermal energy increases particle motion and can change the state from solid to liquid to gas

By stating that particles do not move

By stating that thermal energy only affects solids

By stating that gases become solids when heated

A student uses a model to show how the distance between two magnets affects the strength of the magnetic force. How can the student use this model to explain the relationship?

By showing that increasing the distance decreases the magnetic force

By stating that distance does not matter

By stating that magnets only work when touching

By showing that force increases with distance

A student observes that when two substances are mixed, the temperature drops and a new solid forms. How can the student analyze this data to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred?

By noting the temperature drop and solid formation as evidence of a chemical reaction

By ignoring the temperature change

By stating that all mixtures are physical changes
