18 degrees Celsius
Juan is conducting an experiment to see what occurs when a mystery substance is added to water. He measures out 250 ml of water in four beakers. Juan then measures out four different amounts of the mystery substance (4g, 8g, 12g, 16g). After waiting for the water and the substance to get to room temperature, 20 degrees Celsius, Juan adds the different amounts of substance to the different beakers and takes the new temperature of each. What is the temperature of the initial reading? - 8 degrees Celsius - 12 degrees Celsius - 16 degrees Celsius - 18 degrees Celsius
- 14 degrees Celsius

A student mixes two clear solutions. Which of the following is evidence that a chemical reaction is happening? 1. color change 2. odor change 3. temperature change 4. formation of a precipitate
the bubbles indicated a chemical change was occurring
A student placed 2 grams of baking soda in a balloon and 100 mL of vinegar in a flask. After stretching the opening of the balloon across the neck of the flask, the student raised it to dump the baking soda into the flask.
