15.

A science class wants to determine if zinc will react with hydrochloric acid. One hundred mL of hydrochloric acid solution are added to a beaker. Several small pieces of zinc metal are dropped into the hydrochloric acid. After twenty minutes, the solid material is removed. The following table compares the properties of hydrochloric acid, zinc, and the remaining solid material.

Has a physical or chemical change occurred?

a)

A chemical change has occurred because there was remaining solid material. If the change was only physical, the mixture would have all turned to liquid.

b)

A chemical change has occurred because the remaining solid material had different properties (melting point, boiling point, and density) than the two reactants. This indicates that a new substance was created.

c)

A physical change has occurred because there was remaining solid material. If the change was chemical, the zinc would have completed dissolved in the hydrochloric acid.

d)

A physical change has occurred because the remaining solid material had different physical properties (melting point, boiling point, and density) than the hydrochloric acid and zinc. Only a change in chemical property, such as flammability, would indicate a chemical change.

16.

A chemist wants to know if mixing two liquids, Substance A and Substance B, will result in a chemical reaction. The chemist pours 10 milliliters of Substance A into a beaker containing 30 milliliters of Substance B and observes what happens. Which changes in the resulting mixture would indicate that a chemical reaction occurred between Substance A and Substance B? Choose all that apply.

a)

The total volume of liquid in the beaker becomes 40 milliliters.

b)

A strong odor occurs.

c)

The resulting mixture is denser than Substance A or B.

d)

Substance A mixes with Substance B.

e)

The resulting mixture is less dense than Substance A or B.

17.

a)

Physical change

b)
