Henry mixed salt and water together in a cup until he observed a clear solution. he measured the mass of the solution. then he placed the cup outside for several sunny days during the summer. after a week, he observed that only solid salt remained in the cup and the mass had decreased. henry concluded that a physical and chemical change occurred in this investigation. which statements correctly defend or dispute his conclusion?

Hello Ankith
The mass of the content of the cup decreased because water in the cup evaporated,which is a physical change.No chemical change took place because it is unlikely for two neutral substances i.e. salt and water to react and cause a chemical change.

Answer:
He is incorrect. Dissolving salt in water and evaporation of the water are both physical changes. The reappearance of salt is evidence that the change was reversible by a physical change, so it could not be a chemical change.
