Question

A student combined 2 clear liquids in a beaker in a laboratory activity the student recorded that a pink color appeared after the liqids were mixed what does this statement represent

Answer 1

This is a physical change, why? Because in order for it to be a chemical change the liquid would have to boil, pop, catch on fire, corrode, cause heat, or make a new substance. Although be careful about the boiling because when water boils it turns into water vapor, thus making it a physical change. Anyways, another reason it's a physical change is because the actually water didn't change. Think of puting salt in water the water may turn a bit into a white color or taste different, but it is still the same substance(water).
