Conservation of Mass Activity Worksheet Instructions: Observe and analyze the interactions between the substances pictured in the slide show. Compare the properties of substances before and after each interaction. You will submit your completed worksheet for grading.
Data Table
On the table below, record your observations before and after the interactions and note if mass was conserved. Describe the changes in properties that prove a chemical reaction occurred. The first row is an example.

Observations Before Interaction
Observations After Interaction
Was Mass Conserved?
Proof of a Chemical Reaction
Example: Sugar + Heat
The sugar is in tiny white particles in a pile. Heat is not seen but is implied by the heat source. The pile of sugar in the pot weighs 100 grams.
There is a solid, light brown mass at the bottom of the pot. It weighs 100 grams.
Yes, both the reactants and the products weigh the same.
There was not a chemical reaction. Sugar did not change composition. It only melted. Melting point is a physical property, and this is a physical change.
Steel Wool + Oxygen (Fire)

Egg + Heat

Water + Heat

Zinc + Hydrogen Chloride

Sodium Hydroxide + Copper Sulfate

Look at the bean data from days 4–6. use these data to explain how natural selection changed the number of dark red walking beans over time. writing part

Acompound has a molar mass of 92.02 grams/mole, and its percent composition is 30.4% nitrogen (n) and 69.6% oxygen (o). what is its molecular formula? a. n2o4 b. no2 c. n2o d. n4o2

98 points you will be galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. a hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. the hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. record your hypothesis here: record the results from step one of the experiment (dropping the objects in the air): first trial: second trial: third trial: record the results from step two of the experiment (dropping the objects in a vacuum): first trial: second trial: third trial: did the experiment support your hypothesis? using the data from your experiment, describe why you believe your hypothesis was either proven or disproven. what forces were acting on the objects dropped in the air? what force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum? part two: comparing forces choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. you must provide two ways that they are alike and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write in paragraph form, or make a chart. choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. these must be different forces than used in the prior question. provide two ways that they are similar and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write it out, or make a chart.
