The pictures show butter and water in solid states. The melting point of each substance is shown. Students put solid butter and solid water on a table. The air temperature around the table is 20 degrees Celsius. Which statement describes the most likely state of each substance after two hours?

• The butter and water will both become liquids.

• The butter will remain a solid, and the water will become a liquid.

• The butter and water will both remain solids.

• The butter will become a liquid, and the water will remain a solid.

Veronica weighed an empty bowl and recorded its mass. Then she placed three ice cubes in the bowl and weighed it again. After the ice melted, she recorded the mass of the bowl and the water. She put the data in a table. What conclusion should Veronica make from her observations?

• The masses of the water and the ice were both 43 grams, so the amount of matter did not change.

• The masses of the water and the ice were both 153 grams, so the amount of matter did not change.

• Some of the water spilled because the mass of liquid water should have been greater than the mass of solid ice.

• There was an error in weighing the ice because the mass of liquid water should have been less than the mass of solid ice.

A glass of ice water is placed on a table inside a room that is at room temperature. The ice inside the glass melts. The diagram represents the changes observed. Which piece of evidence supports the conservation of matter during the changes shown in the diagram?

• The contents of the glass are wet before and after the ice melts.

• The combined mass of the glass and its contents is the same before and after the ice melts.

• The combined mass of the glass and its contents is less after the ice melts.

• The contents of the glass are colorless before and after the ice melts.

Malik weighed an empty beaker. The beaker weighed 50 grams. Then Malik added 115 grams of water to the beaker. He placed the beaker of water in a freezer until the water became solid ice. Which prediction should Malik make about the ice in the beaker?

• The ice will weigh less than 115 grams. After the ice melts, the water will weigh less than 115 grams.

• The ice will weigh less than 115 grams. After the ice melts, the water will weigh 115 grams.

• The ice will weigh 115 grams. After the ice melts, the water will weigh less than 115 grams.

• The ice will weigh 115 grams. After the ice melts, the water will weigh 115 grams.
