A student selects three identical containers and adds different amounts of yeast, sugar, and water into each container, as shown in the table. The containers are then sealed.

Carbon dioxide is formed inside each container due to the reaction. What is the relationship among the masses of the containers after the reaction?

• mass of Container A = mass of Container B = mass of Container C

• mass of Container A < mass of Container B < mass of Container C

• mass of Container B > mass of Container A > mass of Container C

• mass of Container B < mass of Container A < mass of Container C

A student makes a solution by adding 30 g of sugar to 200 mL of water. The student wants to make another more concentrated sugar solution. What should the student do to make a more concentrated solution?

• Dissolve 30 g of sugar in 100 mL of water.

• Dissolve 30 g of sugar in 250 mL of water.

• Dissolve 30 g of sugar in 300 mL of water.

• Dissolve 30 g of sugar in 350 mL of water.

A county wants to build a new power plant. The county will have to clear a large forest to build the power plant. What is an alternative solution that the county can use to have a new power plant while having the least impact on the environment?

• Remodel an abandoned factory into a new power plant.

• Remove the top of a nearby mountain, and build the new power plant in its place.

• Flatten a hilly area with few trees as a site for the new power plant.

• Drain a man-made lake, and fill it with topsoil as a site for the new power plant.

A student wants to separate salt from a mixture of sand and salt. She adds water to the mixture and stirs it thoroughly before pouring the mixture through filter paper. The student observes that the sand collects on the filter paper, and the remaining mixture is collected in the beaker.

What should the student do to separate the salt from the remaining mixture?

• Evaporate the water from the mixture, as salt dissolves in water.

• Pour the salt from the mixture, as salt particles float on water.

• Evaporate the salt from the mixture, as salt particles evaporate when heated.

• Pour the water from the mixture, as salt settles to the bottom of the container.

• magnetic separation → floatation → evaporation

• filtration → evaporation → chromatography

• magnetic separation → sifting → filtration → evaporation
