Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A qualitative property of matter is a property characteristic of a substance like color and flavor.

A quantitative property of matter is a property when we get a number.

A) it's a circular shape is a qualitative property because the shape is a qualitative property and shape is not represented by a number.

B) its mass is 1.5 kg is a quantitative property because we know a number of this mass.

C) it tastes like chocolate is a qualitative property because the flavor is characteristic of a substance and flavor is not measured in numbers.

D) it is 30 cm in diameter it is a quantitative property, we know the exact dimension of it.

E) its icing is melting is a qualitative property, melting is a property of ice, it just happens.
