A student cuts some fabric into two pieces. Is this change physical or chemical?(1 point)
Responses
It is a chemical change because the size changes.
It is a chemical change because there is no phase change.
It is a physical change because the process is reversible.
It is a physical change because there is no reaction.
How are chemical changes different from physical changes?(1 point)
Responses
They are reversible.
They involve heat.
They include shifts in the phase of matter.
They form new substances.
How does a balanced chemical equation demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Mass?(1 point)
Responses
it shows that all compounds remain bonded after the reaction
it shows that the properties of the elements stay the same after the reaction
it shows that only physical changes follow the Law of Conservation of Mass
it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction

Science 8 Q1 / Matter Interactions
Use the chemical equation to complete the activity.
2Cu+S→Cu2S
Copper (Cu) reacts with sulfur (S) to form copper sulfide as shown in the equation. A scientist adds 12.7 grams of Cu to 3.2 grams of S to start the reaction. In this reaction, all of the copper and all of the sulfur react. Before running the experiment, the scientist expected the products of the reaction will be a total of 15.9 grams of copper sulfide (Cu2S). In 1–2 sentences, explain the law that the scientist used to predict that the product of the reaction would be 15.9 grams of copper sulfide.
The scientist used the Law of Conservation of Mass to predict that the product of the reaction would be 15.9 grams of copper sulfide. This law states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed, so the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.
1. The model should show 27 protons and 32 neutrons.
