Question 10 • Physical Science

Which would show an example of how physical changes are reversible?

Answer
A
combining sodium and chlorine to make the new material of table salt
B
cutting a gold bar in two pieces and then putting the pieces next to each other
C
melting tin and then cooling it into a mold
D
burning a match and then relighting it

Explanation

Melting tin changes its state and shape, but it remains tin. Cooling it in a mold lets it solidify again, so this physical change is reversible. Choice A creates a new substance, and burning a match is a chemical change that cannot be reversed by relighting it.
