Dalton and Macie were conducting an experiment at school. During the experiment, they added a little dry yeast to some hydrogen peroxide. The combination began to bubble rapidly, and the container felt warm. They captured some of the gas that was formed, and they discovered that the gas they captured had a new property. When they put a lit match into the gas, it made the lit match glow much brighter!(2 points)

Question

a. Dalton and Macie determine that a

.
Question 2
b. Which of the following pieces of evidence helped Dalton and Macie answer question a?(2 points)
evidence that was useful to Dalton and Macie evidence that was not observed or was not useful
A new gas was formed.

A solid dissolved in a liquid.

They saw a new color.

One of the substances formed had a new property.

Answer 1

a. Dalton and Macie determine that a chemical reaction must have taken place. When this kind of change takes place, atoms must be rearranged to form new substances.

Question 2
b. The evidence that was useful to Dalton and Macie includes:

• A new gas was formed.
• One of the substances formed had a new property.

The evidence that was not observed or was not useful includes:

• A solid dissolved in a liquid.
• They saw a new color.
