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.

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.

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.

In a science lab, Cash mixes two clear liquids together in a beaker. Bubbles are produced, and a white solid forms and settles to the bottom. He plans to heat the beaker over low heat and make more observations.

A
A physical change occurred, so if Cash heats it, the white solid will dissolve to form the original mixture of clear liquids.
B
A physical change occurred, so even if Cash heats it, the white solid will remain.
C
A chemical change occurred, so if Cash heats it, the white solid will dissolve to form the original mixture of clear liquids.
D
A chemical change occurred, so even if Cash heats it, the white solid will remain.
