Answer:
It is important to collect all data first, or else your guesses could purely be the opposite of the right answer. If you make inferences of what might happen, your guesses may be purely fictional, and totally off-topic. During experiments, this step is important.
Answer:
Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include increases in certain types of skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders.
You have to be very careful with this question. A change in mass can also occur in chemical changes especially if you have too much of something. For example
CH4 + 1.5 02 ===> CO2 + H2O
If you have too much of either CH4 or O2, there will be some CH4 or O2 left over. There has been a change in mass that you have too much of.
However that is not the point of the question. It is just something you need to be aware of.
Suppose you have a piece of aluminum and you take a course grinder after it. You will change the texture of the side you took the grinder to. If the aluminum has been anodized (a color has been put on it's surface), you may grind the color off or if it is just plain aluminum, you may roughen the surface, but you won't change what the aluminum will do chemically.
You may need only a small portion of the aluminum and you grind off just what you need. That will change the mass of both what you took off and the piece that you want, but the aluminum will still do whatever chemical property you need to use.
So you can change both texture and mass without changing the chemical properties of the substance whose mass or texture you are changing.
