• burn the object outside on a nice day

• add water to the object after it is burned

• split the object into two equal pieces before burning

Mrs. Champion’s class performed an experiment in which they combined 10 ounces of lemon juice with 15 ounces of vinegar to create a new cleaning solution. The experiment was conducted in a sealed spray bottle weighing 5 ounces. The students weighed the bottle with the solution immediately following the experiment. What did the students most likely discover about the weight of the solution and the bottle?

• It weighed 25 ounces because the solutions mixed and dissolved the bottle.

• It weighed 10 ounces because some of the solution dissolved when it was combined.

• It weighed 60 ounces because the solutions doubled in quantity when mixed together.

• It weighed 30 ounces because the solutions mixed and everything was contained inside the closed bottles.
