For an investigation a student poured a blue solution of CuSO4 into a beaker. The student placed a shiny, silver-colored strip of zinc metal in the solution and observed the changes. The metal turned black and there were bubbles.
The student inferred that a chemical reaction occurred. What evidence supports this inference?
A dark solid formed on the zinc metal and a gas was released
The zinc metal remained silver-colored and shiny
The CuSO4 solution turned blue when the zinc metal was added.
None of these
Coal contains carbon and other elements. During a combustion reaction, Carbon Dioxide forms when coal burns in the presence of oxygen. Which of these is the best evidence that a chemical reaction occurs when coal burns?
The shape of the coal changes
Oxygen is present
A new substance is produced
Coal is made up of more than one element
In a ___________change, a substance changes into a different substance.
Physical

The Law of Conservation of Mass states
that matter exists in all states and reacts the same
that matter can only be changed into new substances by introducing a catalyst
that matter exists in the same state throughout any chemical change
that matter cannot be created or destroyed and that the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants

Can the subscripts in a chemical reaction be changed? Example: H2O
Cannot be determined
Maybe, depending on the energy released
No, they define the molecules in the reaction
