Multiple Choice Question

The diagram shows a chemistry demonstration.

Which statement best describes this demonstration?
A.
Step one contains a compound, which is chemically combined in step two, forming a mixture in step three.

B.
Step one contains a compound, which is physically combined in step two, forming a mixture in step three.

C.
Step one contains a mixture of elements, which are physically combined in step two, forming a new compound in step three.

D.
Step one contains a mixture of elements, which are chemically combined in step two, forming a new compound in step three.

To provide the correct answer to the multiple-choice question, I would need more information about the specific chemistry demonstration, including the substances involved and the steps displayed in the diagram. Since I cannot see the diagram or any details about the steps, I cannot definitively determine which statement best describes the demonstration.

However, I can help guide you on how to approach the question based on general chemistry concepts:

  1. Identify the Substances: Look at what is in step one. Are they compounds or mixtures? Are they pure substances or combinations?

  2. Determine the Nature of Combining: In step two, how are the substances combined? Are they chemically reacting (forming a new substance) or just mixed together physically?

  3. Use the Results from Step Three: What is the final result in step three? Is there a new compound formed or just a mixture?

You can analyze these aspects to choose the most appropriate statement from the options given. If you can describe the demonstration in more detail, I'd be happy to help you further!
