Question

Classify each of the observed changes according to whether or not they are likely to represent evidence that a chemical reaction is occurring when performing an experiment.
May be evidence of a chemical reaction Not evidence of a chemical reaction
a solution color becoming less intense
due to dilution
bubbles (sas formation) changes in color
precipitation
explosion or fire
Answer Bank
a solid liquifying change in temperature solution colors mixing

Answer 1

Answer:

a solution color becoming less intense  due to dilution- is not an evidence of a chemical reaction

bubbles (gas formation) - evidence of a chemical reaction

explosion or fire - evidence of a chemical reaction

changes in color- evidence of a chemical reaction

precipitation- evidence of a chemical reaction

changes in temperature - evidence of a chemical reaction

a solid liquifying - is not an evidence of a chemical reaction

solution colors mixing - is not an evidence of a chemical reaction

Explanation:

A chemical change is not easily reversible and yields new substances. It is often accompanied by a loss or gain of heat.

In the answer section, i have shown some evidences that lead us to conclude that a chemical reaction has taken place. The occurrence of a chemical change often goes with the formation of new substances as earlier stated and any of these signs may accompany the process.

For instance, when a metal is dropped in dilute acid solution, bubble of hydrogen gas indicates that a chemical reaction has taken place.
