Question

Pedro is baking a cake for his experiment on chemical changes. He knows a chemical change will occur when he puts the cake mixture in the oven. He would like to know what will happen when the cake is removed from the oven. What prediction would you make for Pedro's experiment? A. The chemical changes occurred because the chemicals changed. B. The chemical changes occurred because there was a change in light energy. C. The fruit and the hamburgers were affected by an increase in heat energy. D.The fruit and the hamburgers were affected by a decrease in heat energy.

Answer 1

A. The chemical changes occurred because the chemicals changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

When baking a cake several chemical reactions occur that change the chemical composition of the ingredients used in baking. An ingredient like baking powder releases carbon dioxide when it undergoes a temperature change in the oven. A chemical change is supposed to change the form of a substance.

An endothermic reaction also occurs when the ingredients absorb heat energy to produce several changes. The firmness of the cake occurs because of the heat absorbed by the proteinous content of the egg.
