Answer
Brief Explanations:
- A compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically combined. CaCl₂ is composed of calcium (Ca) and chlorine (Cl) elements, so it is a compound.
- A chemical reaction involves a change in the chemical composition of substances. Heating a liquid to raise its temperature is a physical change (change in state or temperature without changing the chemical identity), not a chemical reaction.
- When copper powder reacts with nitric acid, a chemical reaction occurs. Copper atoms are incorporated into new copper - containing compounds in the light - blue liquid. Atoms are conserved in chemical reactions and do not escape as part of the gas, are not destroyed, and do not change into a different element.
- The copper cycle shows a series of chemical reactions where copper undergoes various transformations but the amount of copper remains the same throughout. This demonstrates the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions.
Answer:
- D. a compound
- D. A liquid is heated on a Bunsen burner and its temperature rises.
- C. They are now in the light blue liquid as copper compounds that contain copper atoms.
- B. Mass is conserved in chemical reactions.
