Answer 24

The image is a model of sulfuric acid that has a chemical formula of H2SO4. In 1-2 sentences, explain why creating models, like the one shown in the image above, is important in understanding substances.

(2 points)

Answer 25

Creating models is important in understanding substances because models allow learners to visualize the basic units of a substance, the arrangement of its atoms, and how they are bonded.

Answer 26

Copper (Cu) reacts with sulfur (S) to form copper sulfide as shown in the equation. A scientist adds 12.7 grams of Cu to 3.2 grams of S to start the reaction. In this reaction, all of the copper and all of the sulfur react. Before running the experiment, the scientist expected the products of the reaction will be a total of 15.9 grams of copper sulfide (Cu2S). In 1–2 sentences, explain the law that the scientist used to predict that the product of the reaction would be 15.9 grams of copper sulfide.

(2 points)

Answer 27

The scientist used the Law of Conservation of Mass to predict that the product of the reaction would be 15.9 grams of copper sulfide. According to this law, matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, and therefore the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products.

Answer 28

In 3–5 sentences, describe what happens during a chemical reaction, using the terms reactant, product, and bond. (4 points)

Answer 29

A chemical reaction involves the transformation of one or more chemical substances into new substances with different properties. The starting materials, or "reactants," undergo a chemical change to form one or more new substances, known as "products." During the reaction, chemical bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and new bonds are formed to create the products. These bonds are formed through the transfer or sharing of electrons between atoms, which can result in the release or absorption of energy.

Answer 30

In 3–5 sentences, describe the difference between a chemical property and a physical property.(4 points)

Answer 31

A physical property is a characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition, such as color, density, or boiling point. In contrast, a chemical property is a characteristic of a material that can only be observed during a chemical reaction, such as flammability or reactivity with acids. Physical properties describe the material as it is, whereas chemical properties describe the material's behavior in response to certain conditions or substances.
