A student determines the density, solubility, and boiling point of two liquids, Liquid 1 and Liquid 2. Then he stirs the two liquids together and heats them. After stirring and heating the liquids, two different liquids form, Liquid 3 and Liquid 4. Then the student determines the density, solubility, and boiling point of Liquids 3 and 4. He concludes that a chemical reaction occurred. Here are his results:
How does the student know a chemical reaction has occurred?
The student knows that a physical reaction has occurred because Liquids 1 and 2 have different physical properties.
The student knows that a chemical reaction has not occurred because Liquids 3 and 4 have different properties than Liquids 1 and 2.
The student knows that a chemical reaction has occurred because Liquids 3 and 4 have different properties than Liquids 1 and 2.
The student knows that a physical reaction has occurred because Liquids 3 and 4 have different properties than Liquids 1 and 2.
