A

b)

B

c)

B and C

d)

B, C, and D

2.

When vinegar and baking soda are combined, bubbles begin to form. How are the formation of bubbles evidence of a chemical reaction?

a)

Bubbles occur when there is a physical change.

b)

There was no chemical reaction because there was not a color change.

c)

Bubbles indicate the formation of a gas as a new product.

d)

3.

Four students performed four different investigations by combining different substances. Their results are shown in the table above. In which experiment did a chemical reaction take place, and how do you know?

a)

In Experiment 1, a chemical reaction took place. Evidence for this is the production of bubbles, indicating a new substance was formed.

b)

In Experiment 2, a chemical reaction took place. Evidence for this is the amount of the solution increased, indicating more product.

c)

In Experiment 3, a chemical reaction took place. Evidence for this is the dissolving of the crystals, indicating the crystals took a long time to disappeared.

d)

In Experiment 4, a chemical reaction took place. Evidence for this is the solid remains a solid.

4.

Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water. At an atomic level, how do we know that a chemical reaction has occurred?

a)

A. Hydrogen molecules are negative, and oxygen positive.

b)

B. For every oxygen atom., two hydrogen atoms are needed.

c)

C. The hydrogen and oxygen atoms regroup into a new molecule.

d)

D. Oxygen atoms are much larger than hydrogen atoms.

5.

A chemical reaction occurs that involves combining 1 atom of zinc with 2 atoms hydrogen and 2 atoms of chlorine. After the reaction, how many atoms of each element will there be?

a)

1 zinc, 2 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

b)

2 zinc, 2 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

c)

2 zinc, 1 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

d)

2 zinc, 1 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

6.

Which of the following is the best description of the results of a chemical reaction?

a)

The substance seems to disappear after dissolving in water.

b)

The substance changes from liquid to solid at a low temperature.

c)

A new substance with different properties is formed.

d)

The reaction can be reversed to get back the original substance.

7.

During a chemical reaction, substances (called reactants) are combined to form new substances (called products). Which of the following accurately describes the reactants and the products of a chemical reaction?

a)

The products contain a different number of atoms than the reactants but have the same properties.

b)

The number of atoms and the properties are the same in the reactants and the products.

c)

The products contain the same number of atoms as the reactants but have different properties.

d)

The number of atoms and the properties are different in the reactants and the products

8.
The formula below represents the most common carbohydrate known as glucose. Which information can be determined from the chemical formula?

The color of a glucose molecule
c)
The size of a glucose molecule
d)
The number of atoms of each element in a glucose molecule
9.
For an investigation a student poured a blue solution of CuSO4 into a beaker. The student placed a shiny, silver-colored strip of zinc metal in the solution and observed the changes.
The student inferred that a chemical reaction occurred. What evidence supports this inference?
a)
A dark solid formed on the zinc metal.
b)

The zinc metal remained silver-colored and shiny
c)
The CuSO4 solution turned blue when the zinc metal was added.
d)
None of these
