Answer:

15%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of sugar = 15 g

Mass of water = 85 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solvent (water) = 85 g

Mass of solution =?

Mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

Mass of solution = 15 + 85

Mass of solution = 100 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the sugar in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solute (sugar) = 15 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Percentage of sugar in the solution =?

Percentage = solute /solution × 100

Percentage = 15 / 100 × 100

Percentage of sugar in the solution = 15%

Signs of a chemical change

dezoksy [38]

Answer: There are five signs of chemical change

Color Change
Production of an odor
Change of Temperature
Evolution of Gas (bubbles start to form)
Precipitate (starts to form a solid)

When these signs start to form you know chemical change is at work.

Hope this helps :)

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The statement is considered to be true

Explanation:

The statement is true because when elements chemically combine, there are interactions between their valence electrons, causing the two elements to be bonded together to form what is known as a compound.

Compounds can only be formed from interactions between two or more elements. examples include:

Hydrogen + Oxygen = H2O (water)

Sodium + Chlorine = NaCl

Note that if atoms of the same element combine, what is formed is a molecule, not a compound. Some atoms usually do this to attain stability. examples include = O2 H2 and N2. They are oxygen molecule, hydrogen molecule, and nitrogen molecule respectively.

Compounds are only formed when different elements combine to attain electronic stability.
