Cherylanne mixes together Chemical A and Chemical B in a test tube, forming Chemical C. The mixture instantly turns cool to the touch. She then adds Chemical D, and the reaction becomes hot and explodes.

A
Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction.
B
Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an endothermic reaction.
C
Chemicals A and C form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an exothermic reaction.
D
Chemicals A and B form an exothermic reaction, and chemicals B and D form an endothermic reaction.
3

Which best describes what happens to the atoms in a chemical reaction?

A
they are rearranged
B
many of them disappear
C
all of them form stronger bonds
D
all of them remain unchanged
4

Two chemicals react in an endothermic reaction. What can be known about this reaction?

A
Heat is absorbed because the old substance needs more energy to break its bonds.
B
Heat is released because the old substance needs less energy to break its bonds.
C
A precipitate will form as a result of the reaction.
D
A gas will form as a result of the reaction.
5

When vinegar and baking soda react, the mixture becomes cold to the touch and a gas and a new liquid substance are formed.

A
The reaction is chemical and endothermic.
B
The reaction is chemical and exothermic.
C
The reaction is non-chemical and endothermic.
D
The reaction is non-chemical and exothermic.
6

Which best explains why a firework being ignited is an example of an exothermic reaction and not an endothermic reaction?

A
The fireworks produce colors.
B
The fireworks give off heat.
C
Igniting the fireworks requires energy.
D
Igniting the fireworks makes an odor.
7

Which of these most likely represents a chemical change?

A
water boiling
B
sugars digested by saliva
C
mud drying to dirt
D
ice cream melting

Pedro wants to create a chemical reaction between oil and water. He adds oil to a beaker of water and notices that the liquids do not mix. He then shakes the beaker and the drops of oil become suspended through the water for a few moments before returning to their separate layers.

A
Yes, because the oil was evenly suspended.
B
Yes, because the solution was permanently changed.
C
No, because the oil only briefly mixed with the water.
D
No, because no new substances were formed.

Theresa creates an experiment where she mixes two red-colored substances together in a container and observes the solution slowly changing from red to blue for the next eight minutes. The solution becomes completely blue after eight minutes.

A
A chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
B
A non-chemical change started immediately and finished at eight minutes.
C
A chemical change occurred at four minutes.
D
A non-chemical change occurred at four minutes.
10

Which is an example of a chemical reaction?

A
paper folded into tiny pieces
B
paper burned and turned into smoke
C
paper soaked in water
D
paper shredded and turned into pulp
11

When baking soda and vinegar react, the surface bubbles. What does this most likely indicate?

A
a chemical change, because a precipitate is being formed
B
a chemical change, because a gas is being formed
C
a non-chemical change, because a precipitate is being formed
D
a non-chemical change, because a gas is being formed

Reggie and Charlotte are baking oatmeal cookies. They dip the baked cookies in melted chocolate. The chocolate cools to form a hardened coating. Reggie argues the entire chocolate-covered cookie has undergone a chemical change. Charlotte disagrees, saying only the original oatmeal cookie has undergone a chemical change, not the chocolate coating.

A
Reggie, because baking and melting cause bonds to be broken, leading to a chemical change.
B
Reggie, because objects that are heated always undergo chemical changes.
C
Charlotte, because melting objects only sometimes cause a chemical change.
D
Charlotte, because baking causes a chemical change, but melting objects is a non-chemical change.
17

C
Igniting the fireworks requires energy.
D
Igniting the fireworks makes an odor.
18

What must occur in order for a chemical reaction to be specifically classified as endothermic instead of exothermic?

A
Atoms are rearranged.
B
Chemical bonds are formed.
C
Energy is released in the form of heat.
D
Energy is absorbed in the form of heat.
19

Which is evidence that a chemical reaction has likely occurred?

A
a liquid slowly losing volume
B
the formation of a precipitate
C
boiling water releasing steam
D
a change in the shape of a solid
