Suna passes an electric current through a sample of clear, colorless, and odorless liquid. As the experiment continues, bubbles form, and the volume of liquid decreases. Suna collects samples of two colorless, odorless gases that bubble out of the liquid. One of the gases burns. Neither the original liquid nor the other gas burns.Which is the best explanation of her results?

A
The electric current changed some of the sample to gas even though the sample was not breaking down. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound.
B
The electric current released a gas that was odorless and colorless, like the original sample. Therefore, the original liquid is an element.
C
The sample was broken down by the electric current and formed a new substance that could burn. Therefore, the original liquid is a compound.
D
The sample lost some of its volume, but the gas still had the same chemical makeup as the original sample. Therefore, the original liquid is an element.

Which statement best describes the difference between endothermic and exothermic reactions?

A
They are opposites because endothermic reactions require energy and exothermic reactions release energy.
B
They are opposites because endothermic reactions release energy and exothermic reactions require energy.
C
They the same because they are both ways of forming precipitates.
D
They the same because they are both ways of forming gasses.

Nio conducts a science experiment. He puts yeast into a bottle with water and sugar, and then caps the bottle with a balloon. He returns two hours later and notices there are bubbles on the surface of the mixture in the bottle and that the balloon has inflated, but there are no other apparent changes.

A
a non-chemical change, because there are no indicators of chemical changes taking place
B
a chemical change, because the mixture changed color
C
a chemical change, because a gas was produced
D
a non-chemical change, because the changes that occurred are reversible
