According to the lab guide, which changes below will you look for in order to test the hypothesis? Check all that apply.

A
changes in shape or size
B
color changes
C
whether changes are easily reversible
D
temperature changes
E
formation of precipitates or gases
F
changes of state (gas, liquid, or solid)
4

To do this, you will use these observations to compare the of the substances

A
initial appearance
B
state of matter
C
initial chemical structure
5

Check all that apply.

A
Pour using tongs.
B
Wear chemical resistant gloves.
C
Taste to make sure it is HCl.
6

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the change in calcium carbonate?

A
physical change because even though a state change was observed, the calcium carbonate retained its original properties
B
physical change because even though a particle size change was observed, the calcium carbonate retained its original properties and was not transformed into a new substance
C
chemical change because a state change was observed, which indicated that the calcium carbonate was transformed into a different substance
D
chemical change because a particle size change was observed, which indicated that the calcium carbonate was transformed into a different substance

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the boiling of water?

A
physical change because even though the change caused the temperature of the water to increase, the water’s physical properties remained exactly the same
B
physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the water was undergoing a state change, which means that its original properties are preserved
C
chemical change because gas formation was observed, which indicated that the water was transformed into a different substance
D
chemical change because a temperature change was observed, which indicated that the water was transformed into a different substance
10

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the separation of the iron with sulfur?

A
physical change because even though a color change occured, each solid maintained its original properties, which could be seen as soon as the magnet was applied
B
physical change because no temperature change was observed, which would be an indicator of chemical change
C
chemical change because a color change was observed, which indicated that a new substance was formed
D
chemical change because the results depended on the interaction of two substances
11

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation when potassium iodide and lead nitrate are mixed?

A
physical change because the observation of a solid forming is evidence of a state change, which is reversible
B
physical change because even though the mixture had a color that was different from either of the two solids alone, each solid’s physical properties remained exactly the same
C
chemical change because two substances were mixed, which always results in the formation of a new substance
D
chemical change because both a color change and a solid formation were observed, which provide strong evidence of a new substance
12

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation when magnesium comes into contact with hydrochloric acid?

A
physical change because no color change occurred
B
physical change because the observation of a gas forming is evidence of a state change, which is reversible
C
chemical change because a temperature change occurred, a solid disappeared, and a gas was produced
D
chemical change because two substances were mixed, which always results in the formation of a new substance
13

Which answer below correctly identifies the changes you observed and the explanation when a candle burns?

A
physical change because the wax melted and changed shape
B
chemical change because light and heat were formed as the wick and the wax burned
C
both physical change because the wax melted and changed shape and chemical change because light and heat were formed as the candle burned
D
neither a physical change nor a chemical change because the wax only melted and light was produced from the match
14

Check all that apply.

A
Use tongs to remove hot items.
B
Touch the surface.
C
Turn off after use.
15

Check all that apply.

A
Clear the lab table of paper.
B
Tie back long hair.
C
Turn off after use.
