they are rearranged
B
many of them disappear
C
all of them form stronger bonds
D
all of them remain unchanged
3

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.
4

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
5

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
6

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.
7

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
8

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.
9

When liquid silver nitrate and liquid sodium chloride are combined, solid silver chloride forms along with a new liquid, sodium nitrate. Which substance represents the precipitate?

A
silver nitrate
B
silver chloride
C
sodium chloride
D
sodium nitrate

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.
11

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.
12

For a science project, Janet performs four experiments that are supposed to show a chemical reaction. She displays her results in a table.

Question illustration
A
Experiment 1
B
Experiment 2
C
Experiment 3
D
Experiment 4
13

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.
14

A Venn diagram is used to compare and contrast different topics. The items that are unique to each topic are represented in the separate sections of the circles, and the items that are common to both topics are represented in the center overlapping sections. Harlow creates this Venn diagram comparing and contrasting endothermic and exothermic processes.

Question illustration
A
Endothermic: ice melting into water, and a heat pack becoming warm Exothermic: a glow stick glowing, and fireworks exploding
B
Endothermic: ice melting into water, and an instant ice pack turning coldExothermic: fireworks exploding, and gasoline burning
C
Endothermic: a glow stick glowing, and a heat pack becoming warmExothermic: an instant ice pack turning cold, and ice melting into water
D
Endothermic: gasoline burning, and an instant ice pack turning coldExothermic: ice melting into water, and an instant ice pack turning cold
15

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
