Which is these is NOT evidence that chemical change has occurred?
a.
The marshmallow gave off an odor.
b.
The interior of the marshmallow melted.
c.
The outside of the marshmallow turned black.
 

 2. 

A strip of magnesium burns at a temperature of about 2220°C. Burning magnesium produces a brilliant white light and leaves behind a white powder known as magnesium oxide.
Which BEST explains why the burning of magnesium is a chemical reaction?
a.
      The appearance of the magnesium strip changed.
b.
The state of matter of the magnesium strip changed.
c.
A new substance is formed.
 

 3. 

During chemical reactions specific events occur at the valence electron level of the atoms being combined resulting in a new substance being formed.
One of these events is when two or more substances combine and form new...?
a.
physical shapes
b.
electrons
c.
chemical bonds
 

 4. 

Alyssa had a double-scoop vanilla ice cream cone on a hot summer day. The heat melted the ice cream faster than she could eat it all, and some of it ran down onto her hand.

Was her ice cream melting a chemical change? Explain
a.
Yes. There was heat involved, therefore this must be a chemical reaction.
b.
No. When new atomic bonds are formed, it is not a chemical change.
c.
No. Changes of state from solid to liquid (melting) are physical changes.
 

 5. 

A student observes that a gas is formed when chemical Y is added to chemical Z in the lab.
The student’s observation of a new product being formed is the common outcome of all...?
a.
chemical changes.
c.
mass changes.
b.
phase changes.
 

 6. 

Chemical changes occur during chemical reactions.
Which of these is common to ALL chemical reactions.
a.
particles are rearranged and a new substance is produced
b.
a change of color occurs and new types of elements are formed
c.
heat is released into the air and their is a flash of light
 

 7. 

Some chemicals were combined together in a beaker and a chemical reaction occurred.
Which of the following is a characteristic of ALL chemical changes?
a.
Some form of light is given off.
b.
Some mass is converted to energy.
c.
A new material is formed.
 

 8. 

A chemical reaction occurs after substances from two test tubes are combined in a flask..
mc008-1.jpg
A change in ________ confirms that a chemical reaction has occurred.
a.
the kinds of atoms involved
b.
the amount of mass and energy of the substances
c.
the properties and identities of the reacting substances
 

 9. 

Physical changes can be fairly easily reversed, but chemical change are very difficult to reversed.
Which of these occurs during ALL chemical changes?
a.
new elements are formed
b.
atomic bonds are broken and new bonds are formed
c.
changes in states of matter from solid to liquid to gas are observed
 

 10. 

The equation below represents hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water.
2H2 + O2è 2H2O + energy

Which statement BEST explains how this reaction is similar to all chemical reactions?
a.
The product has different properties from the reactants.
b.
The product is in a different state than the reactants.
c.
Energy is released in the form of massive explosion.
