A) The example of only a physical change is dry ice becoming vapor. This is a change in the state of matter (sublimation) without altering the chemical composition of the substance.

A) The option that demonstrates a chemical change is iron (Fe) reacting to water (H₂O) and oxygen (O) to form iron oxide (Fe₂O₃). This involves a chemical reaction that produces a new substance.

A) A reliable way to observe that a chemical change has occurred when two substances come in contact with one another is to monitor for the release of a gas. The production of gas is a common indication of a chemical reaction taking place.

A) Which of the following happens during a chemical change but does not happen during a
physical change? (1 point)
The mass of the substance changes.
The appearance of a substance changes, but it is still the same substance.
Atoms of one or more substances rearrange into a new substance.
The state of the substance changes.
A) Which of the following example demonstrates the reversibility of a chemical change?
(1 point)
recharging batteries
refreezing carbon dioxide gas into dry ice
dehydrating sugar water
the rotting of eggs

A) The statement that happens during a chemical change but does not happen during a physical change is: Atoms of one or more substances rearrange into a new substance. This is a key characteristic of a chemical change, as new substances are formed.

A) The example that demonstrates the reversibility of a chemical change is: recharging batteries. This process involves a chemical change during discharge and allows for the chemical reaction to be reversed to restore the original reactants during charging.
