Card 0 of 10

Question

An example of a change caused by heating or cooling that can be reversed would be the melting of a crayon and then freezing it back into a solid cube.

Answer

The statement above is a true statement and example of how heating and cooling can be reversed. If you melt a crayon, it goes from a solid to a liquid. This can be reversed, and the crayon can be returned to a solid-state by freezing or cooling it. Some changes cannot be reversed, but this example can be reversed.

Question

Becca says that some heating changes can be reversed. She gives the example of melting butter. She says that you can turn a solid piece of butter into a liquid and then turn it back to a solid. Her friend Melva disagrees and says butter cannot be changed back and forth.

Who is correct, and why?

Answer

Butter is an excellent example of a heating change that can be reversed. Becca can melt butter and then cool it to reverse the effects. Melva disagreed with her but is unfortunately wrong in this case. Some heating and cooling changes can be reversed.

Question

Which material can be heated or cooled, and then have the changes reversed?

Answer

Some objects or materials can be heated or cooled, and the changes caused can be reversed. An ice cube could have the changes applied to it reversed. If you heat an ice cube it will melt, you can refreeze it to turn it back to a solid. If you toast bread, bake a cake, or cook an egg, that change cannot be reversed.

Question

Will says some changes caused by heating cannot be reversed. Angelo says some changes can be reversed.

Their father takes a popsicle out of the freezer and sets it on the counter. The popsicle begins to melt. He gets a call and puts it back into the freezer.

Using this example who is correct, Will or Angelo, and why?

Answer

In the situation presented, Angelo is correct. The changes to the popsicle can be reversed. Once it has been heated up and starts to melt, there is a change. In this case, their father puts it back into the freezer when he gets the call; this would cause the popsicle to refreeze. In some instances, these changes can not be reversed, but in this example, it is possible.
