Chemical Change Quiz Questions Overview
1. Which of the following is an example of a chemical change?
Melting ice
Burning wood
Dissolving sugar in water
Breaking glass
2. What is the main difference between a chemical change and a physical change?
Chemical changes are reversible, physical changes are not.
Chemical changes form new substances, physical changes do not.
Physical changes involve energy, chemical changes do not.
Chemical changes only occur in living organisms.
3. Which of the following is NOT a sign of a chemical change?
Change in color
Formation of a precipitate
Change in state
Evolution of gas
4. What is the law of conservation of mass?
Mass can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.
Mass is lost during exothermic reactions.
Mass is gained during endothermic reactions.

Synthesis reaction
Decomposition reaction
Single replacement reaction
Double replacement reaction
6. What happens to the atoms in a chemical reaction?
Atoms are destroyed.
Atoms are created.
Atoms are rearranged.
Atoms remain unchanged.
7. Which of the following reactions is an example of a synthesis reaction?
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
H2O → H2 + O2
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

10. What is a catalyst?
A substance that is consumed in a reaction
A substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed
A substance that decreases the rate of a reaction
A substance that changes the products of a reaction
11. Which of the following is an example of a decomposition reaction?
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Enzymes are consumed in the reaction.
Enzymes slow down the reaction.
Enzymes increase the activation energy required.
Enzymes act as biological catalysts.
13. Which of the following best describes a redox reaction?
A reaction where atoms are rearranged
A reaction where energy is absorbed
A reaction involving the transfer of electrons
A reaction that forms a precipitate
14. What is the product of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)?
