Investigations were carried out in a science lab to explore the topic of chemical and physical changes.Investigation AStep 1. Add 5 tsp. salt to 100 ml warm water and stir until most or all of the salt is no longer visible.Step 2. Heat the salt solution on a burner until only a white solid remains.Investigation BStep 1. Mix 10 tsp. white sugar into 100 ml water and stir until most or all of the sugar is no longer visible.Step 2. Heat the sugar solution on a burner until the solution thickens and turns brown.

A
Investigation A, Step 1 and Investigation B, Step 1
B
Investigation A, Step 2 and Investigation B, Step 2
C
Investigation A, Step 2 only
D

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 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.

B
Some properties of a substance change, but its identity remains the same.
C
The chemical properties of a substance change, but its physical properties remain the same.
D
The physical properties of a substance change, but its chemical properties remain the same.
