In the reaction involving Borax and glue, a chemical change occurs, resulting in the formation of a new substance. To find the weight of the resulting mixture, you can add the weights of the components before the reaction.
Lisa mixes:
- 4 ounces of water
- 4 ounces of glue
- 0.5 ounces of Borax
Adding these together: 4 ounces + 4 ounces + 0.5 ounces = 8.5 ounces
So, if you are asking what happens to the weight of the substances after the chemical change, the total weight remains the same. Therefore, the answer is 8.5 ounces.
