Example: A) Salt dissolves in water.  

B) Oil and water do not mix.  

C) Pencil shavings float on water and do not dissolve.

A chemical property is defined as the property in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed while measuring chemical properties.

Example: D) Neutral water react s with carbon dioxide to form an acid solution.

$CO_2+H_2O\rightarrow H_2CO_3$

Answer 2

The answer is D) neutral water reacts with carbon dioxide to form an acid solution
