Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A change which brings no change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, melting of ice is a physical change as there occurs change in phase from solid state to liquid state of water. Whereas the structure of water remains the same.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement which describes a physical change is that it may involve a change in phase but does not involve a change in the molecular structure.

The label on a bottle of medicine reads "Each 5 mL teaspoonful contains glucose, 1.87 g; levulose, 1.87 g; and phosphoric a

Alexandra [31]

(a) 43.6 mg; (b) 520 mg

(a) Mass of phosphoric acid (PA) in a dose

Mass of PA = 2 tsp × (21.8 mg PA/1 tsp) = 43.6 mg PA

(b) Mass of PA in the bottle

Step 1. Convert ounces to millilitres

Volume = 4 oz × (30 mL/1 oz) = 120 mL

Step 2. Calculate the mass of PA

Mass of PA = 120 mL × (21.8 mg PA/5 mL) ≈ 520 mg PA
