Students are given a sample of an unknown material. They want to perform tests to determine its identity. Which test is MOST likely to change the sample into another material?

a
dissolving it in water
b
heating it until it melts
c
heating it until it melts
d
burning it in a flame

When the unknown material is dissolved in water, it could react with the water particles and end up producing another material. For instance an alkali metal in water could form metal oxides.

Heating the material until it melts will not change it into another material because it will still be the same material only now it will be in liquid form. The same logic applies if it is burnt in a flame.
