The clay is molded into a different shape, but its chemical composition remains the same. This change is reversible, meaning that the pot can be reshaped back into clay if needed. 3. **Analyze the Second Act (Baking the Pot)**: The second act involves baking the pot in an oven. This process involves applying heat, which changes the chemical structure of the clay. As a result, the clay undergoes a chemical change, transforming into a solid structure that cannot be reverted back to its original form. This change is irreversible. ...
