What is a chemical reaction?

When mixing two or more substances together to create something new. Process can't be undone or reversed.

Read the passage below to find the evidence to complete your missing data to the substance's property of color. 

Our research team received 2 unknown samples suspected to be a type of clay and bread dough. The first observation was the color of the substance of clay it presented as a slightly blue color to it while the bread dough had a light brown color to it.

Color: 

Clay: Blue

Bread dough: Light brown

Define Solubility: 

Solubility: When a substance can break down or dissolve within a liquid.

Does the amount of a substance affect its melting point? 

Fat 2.5cm: 65 degrees melting point 

Fat 5cm: 65 degrees melting point 

Soap 2.5cm: Higher that 100 degrees

Soap 5cm: Higher that 100 degrees

The amount of a substance doesn't affect it's melting point. Fats melting point will always be 65 no matter the amount of fat there is. Soap will always be higher than 100 no matter the amount of soap there is.

Which of the following is an example of a mixture? 

A. Freezing water

B. Melting fat

C. Making hot chocolate

D. Baking Bread

C. Making hot chocolate

Read the passage below to find the evidence to complete your missing data to the substance's property of hardness.

A simple examination revealed its hardness of bread dough to be notably squishy while clay revealed its hardness to be firm.  

Hardness: 

Clay: Firm

Bread Dough: Squishy

What is the difference between a product and reactant and old and new substances? 

Reactant: What substances are being combined together 

Product: End results

Old substance: Original materials

New substance: New substance created

300

Does the size and thickness of metal affect the property of hardness? (Think back to the lab where we did the scratch test on the different metals)

The amount of a substance does not affect its property of hardness. We found that the hardness of zinc was the same regardless of its size and thickness.

300

Which change will produce a new substance that can’t be undone?   

A. dissolving cocoa mix in water

B. burning a piece of bread in a toaster

C. heating water until it evaporates

D. cooling water until it freezes

B. burning a piece of bread in a toaster

Part 1:

Draw a molecular model of H2O

Part 2: 

If I had two molecules of H20 (water) how many total hydrogen and oxygen atoms would there be?

Part 1:

Check student drawings. 

Part 2: 

Hydrogen: 4 Oxygen: 2

Read the passage below to find the evidence to complete your missing data to the substance's property of melting point. 

To determine the melting point of clay, the sample was slowly heated. We recorded its melting point at 350∘C. When placing a small amount of bread dough on a heating element, we conclusively determined that the melting point of bread dough to be 25∘C.

Melting point: 

Clay: 350

Bread dough: 25

Read the passage below to find the evidence to complete your missing data to the substance's property of density.

Finally, using precision instruments, the density was accurately measured. The final calculation showed a density of 0.84 g/cm3 for clay and bread dough density was recorded at 0.92 g/cm3.  

Density:

Clay: 0.84 g/cm3

Bread dough: 0.92 g/cm3

Read the passage below to find the evidence to complete your missing data to the substance's property of solubility. 

A crucial part of the analysis was determining the solubility of both substances. When clay is introduced to water, the sample does NOT dissolve. On the other hand, when clay is added to oil, the sample DOES dissolve or break down fully.  When a small amount of bread dough was introduced to water, it showed that it DID in fact dissolve and break down. In contrast, when mixed with oil, the sample bread dough does NOT dissolve.

Solubility:

Clay 

Water: NOT soluble 

Oil: Soluble 

Bread dough

Water: Soluble 

Oil: Not soluble
