Two chemicals react in an endothermic reaction. What can be known about this reaction?

A
Heat is absorbed because the old substance needs more energy to break its bonds.
B
Heat is released because the old substance needs less energy to break its bonds.
C
A precipitate will form as a result of the reaction.
D
A gas will form as a result of the reaction.

4

Which is an example of a chemical reaction?

A
paper folded into tiny pieces
B
paper burned and turned into smoke
C
paper soaked in water
D
paper shredded and turned into pulp
5

When baking soda and vinegar react, the surface bubbles. What does this most likely indicate?

A
a chemical change, because a precipitate is being formed
B
a chemical change, because a gas is being formed
C
a non-chemical change, because a precipitate is being formed
D
a non-chemical change, because a gas is being formed

Cherylanne mixes together Chemical A and Chemical B in a test tube, forming Chemical C. The mixture instantly turns cool to the touch. She then adds Chemical D, and the reaction becomes hot and explodes.

A
Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction.
B
Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an endothermic reaction.
C
Chemicals A and C form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an exothermic reaction.
D
Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an endothermic reaction.
7

Which is evidence that a chemical reaction has likely occurred?

A
a liquid slowly losing volume
B
the formation of a precipitate
C
boiling water releasing steam
D
a change in the shape of a solid
8

Theresa creates an experiment where she mixes two red-colored substances together in a container and observes the solution slowly changing from red to blue for the next eight minutes. The solution becomes completely blue after eight minutes.

A
A chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
B
A non-chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
C
A chemical change occurred at four minutes.
D
A non-chemical change occurred at four minutes.

silver nitrate
B
silver chloride
C
sodium chloride
D
sodium nitrate

Pedro wants to create a chemical reaction between oil and water. He adds oil to a beaker of water and notices that the liquids do not mix. He then shakes the beaker and the drops of oil become suspended through the water for a few moments before returning to their separate layers.

A
Yes, because the oil was evenly suspended.
B
Yes, because the solution was permanently changed.
C
No, because the oil only briefly mixed with the water.
D
No, because no new substances were formed.
