3.

A class performed an experiment to investigate mass changes in a closed system. The teacher divided the class into pairs and gave each pair either a physical or chemical change to perform. Multiple groups investigated a change of state, dissolving salt into water, heating copper & sulfur, and dissolving alka-seltzer & water. The mass of reactants was measured before the change and the mass of the products was measured after the change was complete. The mass of the reactants was subtracted from the mass of the products. The teacher collected the data from each pair and calculated the averages to make the following graph. Why did the teacher use data from all the groups to make a single graph?

a)

To ensure the validity of the data.

b)

To ensure she could read everyone’s results.

c)

To ensure everyone’s graph looked the same.

d)

To ensure the experiment was conducted correctly.

4.

c)

A chemical change occurred as indicated by a change in state.

d)

A physical change occurred as indicated by the formation of a gas.

5.
