What experimental observations indicate a chemical change is taking place?

1 answer:

6 0

A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.

A sample of a substance has these characteristics:

<span>Those characteristic belong to an ionic compountd. Ionic compounds have strong bonds between their atoms (ionic bond is the strongest molecular bond) which conferes this kind of compounds high melting point, wich 9811 K is. Ionic compounds do not transmit current, because they do not have free electrons, like metals do, then they are poor conductors as solid. Ionic compounds dissolve in water into ions which are charges that can move, becoming then good conductors. The structure of ionic compound is a net of cristals which make them hard and brittle. Then, the answer i s option (4) an ionic compound.</span>

Which example is not a structural adaptation of a plant? A. curling around a tree trunk B. protecting itself with thick bark C.

aalyn [17]

A. curling around a tree trunk

I believe would be the correct answer because it is not an adaptation that it has gained through evolution and it is something that happens after the plant has grown.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why bubbles exhaled by scuba divers underwater expand as they float up to the surface of the oce

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:The bubbles exhaled by a scuba diver grow as they approach the surface of the ocean. The pressure exerted by the weight of the water decreases with depth, so the volume of the bubbles increases as they rise.
