A scientist compares two samples of white powder. One powder was present at the beginning of an experiment. The other powder was present

at the end. She wants to determine whether a chemical reaction has occurred. She finds that neither sample bubbles or dissolves in water. She
measures the mass and volume of the solids. Sample one has a volume of 45 cm and a mass of 0.5 g Sample two has a volume of 65 cm and a
mass of 1.3 g. What should the scientist conclude?
OA. The samples have the same color, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
B. The two samples do not react with water, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
OC
The densities of the samples are different, so a chemical reaction has occurred.
D. The densities of the samples are the same, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
E The densities of the samples are different, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
