Question 7 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

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

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

Explanation

A physical change alters a substance’s form or state without making a new substance, and it can often be reversed. Tin melts into a liquid when heated, then cools and solidifies in the mold; reheating it could melt it again. This makes C, melting tin and cooling it into a mold, an example of a reversible physical change.
