Question: Which of the following is most likely an indication of a chemical change?
Answer Choices:
A. A loud sound when an MP3 player is turned on.
B. A loud sound when someone claps their hands.
C. A loud sound when a starter's pistol is fired at a race.
D. A loud sound when a large object falls to the ground.
Correct Answer:
C. A loud sound when a starter's pistol is fired at a race.
Reasons:
A would not be correct since an MP3 player is a mechanical object and does not mix any substances that create a reaction.
B would not be correct since clapping hands causes a loud sound due to two forces slamming together and causes a disturbance in the air.
D would not be correct since a large object falling to the ground does not indicate any chemical reactions or changes since its merely the result of a mass hitting another mass.
C would be correct since the gunpowder mixes with other substances inside the pistol's chamber and causes and explosion, and explosions are part of a chemical reaction indicators.
