Wes melted some cheese over some tortilla chips to make nachos.

How is the melted liquid cheese different from the solid cheese?

A.
It has a different shape.
B.
It has a different flavor.
C.
It has a different color.
D.
It has a different mass.

A

Explanation:

Look through the answer choices:

A. This is definitely possible. The solid cheese was likely a solid square, but the melted cheese probably became a "blob", with no real shape - amorphous almost.

B. Unlikely; the cheese is still cheese. It didn't go through any chemical change that would affect its properties, so solid and melted cheese will taste the same.

C. Unlikely; substances only change color when they go through a chemical change. However, change of matter (melting, in this case) is a physical change, so the color should still be the same: if the solid was yellow, the melted cheese will also be yellow.

D. Wrong; when substances change state of matter, their masses don't change. Why? Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a substance. The melted form of a substance has the same amount of matter as the solid form.

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

explanation:

detials on each model with digrams

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
