SHORT ANSWER
61. ANS:
Reaction B is more likely to involve the
melting of ice. The melting of ice is an endothermic change, a change in which
energy is taken in. Based on its decreasing temperature, reaction B appears to
be taking in energy in the form of heat. On the other hand, the increasing
temperature of reaction A indicates that it is releasing heat rather than
absorbing it.

STA: S 8.5.c BLM: analysis
63. ANS:
Reaction A is more likely to involve a
form of combustion. Combustion is a chemical change that releases energy in the
form of heat and light, and based on its increasing temperature, reaction A
appears to be releasing heat. On the other hand, the decreasing temperature of
reaction B indicates that it is absorbing heat rather than releasing it.

chemical change is.
STA: S 8.5.c BLM: application
68. ANS:
Yes. The law of conservation of matter
states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or
physical change. The equation demonstrates this by showing the same number of
atoms on both sides. Each side of the equation has 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen
atoms, and 12 oxygen atoms. Thus, no atoms were destroyed or created in the
reaction. The atoms that were present at the start of the reaction remained at
the end of the reaction.

71. ANS:
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction
because it takes in energy (in the form of light).

73. ANS:
You could investigate some of the
characteristic properties of the unknown substance. If the unknown substance is
water, it will have the same freezing point, the same boiling point, the same
density, and the same chemical reactivity as water.

74. ANS:
A mixture consists of two or more
substances that are mixed together but are not chemically combined. The
individual substances in a mixture keep their separate properties. A compound
is a substance formed when two or more elements combine chemically. The
properties of a compound are very different from those of the elements that
formed it.

75. ANS:
Atoms are the smallest particles of an
element. Atoms can combine with other atoms to form molecules. A molecule is a
group of atoms that are joined together and act as a single unit. Molecules can
be made of different kinds of atoms or the same kind of atoms. Atoms within a
molecule are held together by chemical bonds.

76. ANS:
The melting of an ice cube is considered
a physical change. When an ice cube melts, it changes state from a solid to a
liquid, but its composition stays the same (H2O). Such a change in
state is considered a physical change since no new substance is formed.
PTS: 1 DIF: L2 OBJ: CaPS.2.2.1 Describe what a
physical change is.

77. ANS:
A chemical change has occurred. The
boiling point of a substance is a physical property that can be used to
identify the substance. WaterÕs boiling point is 100¡C. The boiling points of
the two gases are evidence that new substances with different properties have
been formed.

78. ANS:
Sample Answer: Through the process of
photosynthesis, plants transform electromagnetic energy from the sun into
chemical energy as they make molecules of sugar. The chemical energy stored in
plants is transferred to my body when I eat plant-based foods such as carrots.
My body then uses this energy to carry out basic functions, such as thinking
and writing. When I write answers to this test, the chemical energy I received
from plant-based foods is transformed into the energy of motion.

79. ANS:
First, pour the entire mixture through a
paper filter, which will trap the sand but not the salt and water. Then, distill the remaining saltwater
solution. As water boils and rises out of the solution as water vapor, capture
it in a long tube. While inside
the tube, the water vapor will cool and condense into liquid water, which can
then flow into a collecting flask. Any water that remains behind with the salt
can be evaporated into the open air, leaving only salt behind.

80. ANS:
When an iron nail rusts, its mass
increases. Rusting is a chemical change known as oxidation, which is the slow
combination of a substance, like iron, with oxygen. According to the law of
conservation of matter, atoms are neither created nor destroyed; they are just
rearranged. Therefore, the mass of a rusted nail will be equal to the mass of
the iron in the nail plus the mass of the oxygen from the air that reacts with
the iron.
