Multiple Choice Question

The images above show the contents of a beaker before and after a change occurred. Which change took place in the beaker?
A.
Phase change
B.
Volume change
C.
Physical change
D.
Chemical change

Answer 1

Without viewing the specific images, I can provide general guidance on the types of changes that might occur in a beaker.

- **Phase change (A)** refers to changes involving a transition between solid, liquid, and gas states (e.g., melting, freezing, evaporation).
- **Volume change (B)** typically refers to alterations in the amount of space the substance occupies, which may or may not indicate a physical or chemical change.
- **Physical change (C)** involves changes that do not alter the chemical composition of the substance (e.g., dissolving, change in state).
- **Chemical change (D)** results in the production of new substances with different properties (e.g., burning, rusting).

If the change in the beaker resulted in a new substance being formed, you would choose **D. Chemical change**. If the substances were the same but only their state or appearance changed, you would select **A. Phase change** or **C. Physical change**. If the volume of the substance altered but its composition remained the same, it would be **B. Volume change**.

Without additional information about the specific changes observed in the beaker, it's challenging to determine the correct answer. If you could describe what was shown in the images, I would be happy to assist you further!
