What should be included in a CER (Claim–Evidence–Reasoning) response? Select all that apply.
Claim
Evidence
Reasoning
Read the CER written below and answer the question. Question: What is the molar ratio of hydrogen gas to oxygen gas that makes the most amount of water? Conclusion (sentences labeled 1–6): 1 In our lab we tested different amounts of hydrogen and oxygen gas mixtures. 2 We found that the 1:5 ratio made the least amount of “pop” sound and the 2:4 ratio made the greatest amount of “pop” sound. 3 When hydrogen and oxygen react they come together in a certain ratio of molecules to make water. 4 The mole ratio in the balanced equation tells you the amount of hydrogen and oxygen that makes the most amount of product (water). 5 The reason why the 1:5 ratio was not the optimal ratio is because there is not enough hydrogen gas molecules to react with all the oxygen molecules. 6 Only in the 2:4 ratio do you have the correct amount of each molecule to make the most water. Which sentence number(s) include the evidence?
