Which best explains why making a pancake from batter is an example of a chemical change?

A
The pancake that forms is a different state of matter.
B
The change from batter to pancake can be reversed.
C
A new substance forms when the batter is cooked.
D
The batter changes shape when it is cooked.

Which statement best describes a physical change?

A
Changes can occur to certain chemical properties of the substance, but the overall shape of the substance will remain the same.
B
Changes can occur to certain physical properties of the substance, but the overall shape of the substance will remain the same.
C
Changes can occur to physical properties of a substance, but the chemical composition of the substance remains the same.
D
Changes can occur to chemical properties of a substance, but the chemical composition of the substance remains the same.
6

Which characteristic of a substance is considered a chemical property?

A
its boiling point
B
its reactivity
C
its density
D
its conductivity
7

Which statement best describes chemical properties of matter?

A
Chemical properties, such as density, must be observed when a substance is in its natural state at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
B
Chemical properties, such as reactivity, must be observed when a substance is in its natural state at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
C
Chemical properties, such as combustibility, are generally observed as the identity of a substance changes and one or more new substances form.
D
Chemical properties, such as boiling point, are generally observed as the identity of a substance changes and one or more new substances form.

In a science demonstration, a teacher mixed zinc (Zn) with hydrogen chloride (HCl) in a flask and quickly attached a balloon over the mouth of the flask. Bubbles formed in the solution and the balloon inflated.

A
The Zn and HCl both retained their identity.
B
Either Zn or HCl, but not both, retained its identity.
C
Evaporation of one of the substances occurred.
D
One or more new substances formed.

Henry mixed salt and water together in a cup until he observed a clear solution. He measured the mass of the solution. Then he placed the cup outside for several sunny days during the summer. After a week, he observed that only solid salt remained in the cup and the mass had decreased. Henry concluded that a physical and chemical change occurred in this investigation.

A
He is correct. Dissolving salt in water is a physical change, but evaporating the water is a chemical change. Formation of a solid is evidence that a chemical change occurred.
B
He is correct. Evaporation is a physical change, but dissolving salt in water is a chemical change. The change in mass is evidence that a chemical change occurred.
C
He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both physical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a physical change, so it could not be a chemical change.
D
He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both chemical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a chemical change, so it could not be a physical change.

Which statement describes all chemical changes, but not all physical changes?

A

B
A new substance forms.
C
Phase changes occur.
D
A color change occurs.
