Henry mixed salt and water together in a cup until he observed a clear solution. He measured the mass of the solution. Then he p

laced the cup outside for several sunny days during the summer. After a week, he observed that only solid salt remained in the cup and the mass had decreased. Henry concluded that a physical and chemical change occurred in this investigation.
Which statements correctly defend or dispute his conclusion?

1- He is correct. Dissolving salt in water is a physical change, but evaporating the water is a chemical change. Formation of a solid is evidence that a chemical change occurred.
He is correct. Evaporation is a physical change, but dissolving salt in water is a chemical change. The change in mass is evidence that a chemical change occurred.


2- He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both physical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a physical change, so it could not be a chemical change.


3- He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both chemical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a chemical change, so it could not be a physical change.

Answer:  

He is correct. Evaporation is a physical change, but dissolving salt in water is a chemical change. The change in mass is evidence that a chemical change occurred.

Explanation:

Dissolving Salt in water is a<u> Chemical Change, </u>Because the Salt arrangement is different in solid state than dissolved in water. As we can see in the image below, once the Salt is dissolved, it is separated into its ions, Na+ and Cl-

Now, The evaporation process is a <u>physical change,</u> because the water doesn´t change its configuration H20 and it only changes its form, as we can see in the image below.

Statement 2 is correct.
solids moving into solution is a physical change as the core structure of the molecules remain the same. evaporation of water and crystallization of salt are both physical changes as well.
The water does not change it's H2O chemical makeup because salt was dissolved into it.

how many grams of solid silver nitrate would you need to prepare 200.0 mL of a 0.150 M AgNO3 solution
aleksklad [387]
0.150 M AgNO3 = x mol / 0.200 Liters
x mol = 0.03 mol AgNO3
0.03 mol AgNO3 (169.9g AgNO3 / 1 mol AgNO3) We are converting moles to grams here with stoichiometry.

Final answer = 5.097 grams, but if you want it in terms of sig figs then it is 5.09 grams.

As what we can see on the graph of the Boyle's Law, we can imply that volume and pressure are inversely proportional. The gas law furthermore explains that at this condition, the temperature must be held constant. The law can be furthermore be explained using the equation:
