Evidence of a chemical reactions is anything that shows -
a new substance has formed
a solid dissolved in a liquid
interaction between 2 gases
a change in the state of matter
One of the signs of a chemical reaction taking place is:
Bubbles are produced
Reactants are not combining
Products are not forming
Color is not changing
Which is NOT an indication of a chemical change?
temperature change
formation of a precipitate
shape change
production of light
You know you a chemical reaction has occurred if
there is a precipitate.
there is a color change.
there is a temperature change.
All of these answers are evidence.
A clear liquid from a flask is poured into another clear liquid in a beaker. Which of the following results of this procedure would indicate a new substance was formed?

Rapid evaporation of water occurred, leaving a solid
Which of the following describes a precipitate?
a liquid forms when a block of metal is heated
a solid forms when one liquid is poured into another
