    When we boil water, this is a ___________change.

    • Physical

    • Chemical

    • No change

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical
    Explanation
    Boiling water is a physical change because it involves a change in the state of matter from liquid to gas without any change in the chemical composition of water. The water molecules are heated and gain enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces, resulting in the formation of water vapor. However, the chemical properties of water remain the same before and after boiling.

    When we burn wood in a fireplace, this is a ________change. 

    • Physical

    • Chemical

    • No change

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical
    Explanation
    Burning wood in a fireplace is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction. The wood undergoes combustion, combining with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and various byproducts such as carbon dioxide and ash. This change is irreversible and results in the formation of new substances with different properties than the original wood.

    When we bake bread, this is a _________change.

    • Physical

    • Chemical

    • No change

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemical
    Explanation
    When we bake bread, it undergoes a chemical change. This is because the process of baking involves the chemical reactions between the ingredients of the bread, such as the flour, yeast, and water. These reactions cause the dough to rise and transform into a solid, cooked bread. Therefore, the change from dough to bread is a chemical change rather than a physical change.

    When we dissolve sugar into water, this is a __________change. 

    • Physical

    • Chemical

    • No change

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Physical
    Explanation
    When we dissolve sugar into water, it undergoes a physical change. This is because the sugar molecules are dispersed and evenly distributed throughout the water, forming a homogeneous mixture. The chemical composition of the sugar does not change during this process.
