For a laboratory investigation some students put a strip of shiny metal into a beaker of blue solution and then stored the beake
r on a shelf
overnight. The next morning, the students recorded observations about the metal and the solution in the box below.
Students' Observations
Exhibit
. The solution is lighter in color,
The volume of solution is the same.
• The metal strip is shiny above the surface of the solution
• The metal strip is not shiny below the surface of the solution.
• The metal strip below the surface of the solution has a dark
coat of flaky material
• When the metal strip is touched, the flaky material falls off.
Based on their observations, can the students correctly conclude that a chemical reaction occurred?
A. No, because the metal strip was still visible
B. Yes, because a new material of a different color formed on part of the metal strip
c. No, because the solution stayed blue
ble solution stayed the same
