Based on the results of this lab, write a short paragraph that summarizes how to distinguish physical changes from chemical changes. Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance.

Fission of uranium-235 products energy and a. isotopes of smaller elements b. isotopes of larger elements c. lighter isotopes of uranium d. heavier isotopes of uranium

If a solution is considered basic, then a) the hydroxide ion and hydronium ion concentrations are equal. b) the hydroxide ion concentration is less than the hydronium ion concentration. c) the hydronium ion concentration is greater than the hydroxide ion concentration. d) the hydroxide ion concentration is greater than the hydronium ion concentration.

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
