Deanne and Bo conduct an experiment at school. They put vinegar into a dish, and then they add baking soda to it. Lots of bubbles form as they stir the two substances together. After the bubbling stops, they notice that they no longer smell the distinctive odor of vinegar. Their teacher explains that the atoms making the vinegar and the atoms making the baking soda were recombined to form water, carbon dioxide, and another compound called sodium acetate.(2 points)

Responses
The total mass of the products would be greater than 372 grams, because water is really heavy.

Adi read an article entitled, "The Wonderful World of Synthetic Chemistry." Emeril read an article entitled, "The Dangerous World of Synthetic Chemistry."
Read the portions of the articles (below) that Adi and Emeril had read. Then answer the questions.
The Wonderful World of Synthetic Chemistry
Synthetic chemistry involves producing new substances from existing raw materials. Often, the raw materials come from petroleum products like oil and natural gas, which have to be removed from deep underground. Then those molecules are used as starting materials to form new, useful molecules for things like plastics and medicines. Synthetic chemicals can be applied to clothing and household goods to make them resistant to burning. Synthetic clothing can be produced inexpensively and in a wide variety of styles. Plastic containers are lightweight and easy to transport.
The Dangerous World of Synthetic Chemistry
Synthetic materials are produced when raw materials undergo chemical reactions. Synthetic chemistry involves drilling for oil or liquid petroleum to use as raw materials. This process can lead to environmental pollution and risks to human health. Synthetic plastics are "forever" items, meaning it can take them hundreds or even thousands of years to break down in the environment. Recycling programs are not reliable, and single-use synthetic products are wasteful. Some synthetic chemicals are poisonous and can seep into groundwater.
Question 1
Adi and Emeril wanted to categorize their ideas about synthetic chemicals. Help them sort the ideas according to the articles that would support those ideas.
a. Click to show which ideas match which articles.
Some ideas might be found in both articles, so you may need to click to show that one or more ideas could be supported by both articles. (In other words, you might click twice on the same row.)
