always rise to the top of a liquid.
c)
are almost always perfectly spherical.

a)
The mass of the solution remains the same.
b)
Phase changes are observed.
c)
The color of the solution remains clear.
d)
The temperature of the solution increases.

A yellow solid forms and then settles to the bottom of the beaker.
c)
Small white crystals are left behind in the flask that held the first liquid.
5.
Which of the following is an example that includes evidence of a chemical reaction?
a)

b)
A solid block of ice is heated and it completely melts into a liquid.
c)
