- Choose the letters that apply: Which of the following connotes FAR from the real forms or existence of substances? a. molecular formula of the substance b. condensed chemical formula of the substance c. structural formula of the substance d. chemical reaction equation e. empirical formula of the substancearrow_forwardA student places a sample of a pure metal in a crucible and heats it strongly in air. Data from the experiment are given in the table above. The final mass was determined after the sample was cooled to room temperature. Which of the following statements related to the experiment is correct? (See attached table) a.) The mass of the sample decreased, so physical changes occurred as the metal first melted and then boiled out of the crucible. b.) The mass of the sample increased, so a chemical change occurred when bonds formed between the metal and another substance. c.) There was nothing for the metal to react with, so only a physical change could have occurred. d.) The sample was only heated, so neither a physical nor a chemical change occurred.arrow_forwardDescribe and distinguish between thelaw of conservation of mass, the law ofconstant composition, and the law ofmultiple proportions.arrow_forward
