Hard product
Precipitate
Combustion
Chemical reactions are
Only dangerous
Occur in everyday life (like cooking)
Never happen outside labs
When a compound breaks into two or more substances it is
A decomposition reaction
A physical change
Combustion
A chemical change differs from a physical change because
It always explodes
It creates a new substance with different chemical properties
It lasts longer
The Law of Conservation of Mass means
Mass changes after reaction
Total number of atoms stays the same after reaction
Mass = reaction + 5
When you combine two substances, the combined weight is
Less than the sum
Equal to the sum
Greater than the sum
When two substances react chemically
A new substance forms
Weight decreases
State always becomes liquid
The total weight of matter is conserved when substances are heated, cooled, or mixed.
False
True
Sometimes
Matter is conserved in a chemical reaction because
Mass is conserved and atoms can be counted before and after
We model it
Atoms disappear
H2 + O2 → H2O (unbalanced). Does this show conservation of mass?
Mass is not conserved
We cannot tell
Mass is conserved; atoms are rearranged
Energy that travels through space (light, radio, X-rays) is a
Mechanical wave
Electromagnetic wave
Seismic wave
For water ripples, larger diameter relates to amplitude as
Larger diameter → larger amplitude
Larger diameter → smaller amplitude
No relation
Number of waves passing a point per second is
Frequency
Amplitude
Crest
Energy that moves through matter (like sound) is a
Mechanical wave
Refraction wave
Rarefaction wave
The material a wave travels through is called the

Transverse
Longitudinal
Reflective
When energy moves perpendicular to wave travel, the wave is
Transverse
Longitudinal
Reflective
Wave A has greater amplitude than Wave B. That means
Both carry same energy
Wave A carries more energy
Amplitude unrelated to energy
Which wave has both longitudinal and transverse properties?

Transmitted
Absorbed
Reflected
Which loses more energy in absorption?
Low-frequency wave

Both same
When electromagnetic waves are absorbed by an object, what happens?
The object becomes warmer
Nothing
The object moves
When a wave bounces off a surface and changes direction it is called
Reflection
Refraction
Transmission
A wave hits a boundary; part of it is sent back. This is called
Absorption
