Assuming the students did not make any careless errors, what likely explains these changes in mass

• Procedure 1: All the reactants were liquids that evaporated.

  Procedure 2: A gas was formed as one product, and it escaped into the air.

• Procedure 1: One of the reactants was converted to thermal energy

  Procedure 2: All the products were liquids.

• Procedure 1: The reactants were liquids with different densities.

  Procedure 2: The reactants were combined into only one product.

• Procedure 1: One of the products was a gas that escaped into the air.

  Procedure 2: A gas from the air reacted with one of the other reactants.

Based on their observations, can the students correctly conclude that a chemical reaction occurred?

• No, because the metal strip was still visible

• Yes, because a new material of a different color formed on part of the metal strip

• No, because the solution stayed blue

• Yes, because the volume of the blue solution stayed the same
