A. The substance dissolved. Just because a substance dissolved in a solvent doesn’t mean that a chemical action occurred. For example, if you put sugar in water as stir, it will dissolve, but the chemical make up of the sugar and the water don’t change. A chemical reaction can be indicated by a drastic change in color or temperature or if a substance precipitate.
