Answer 3

To determine whether a reaction is chemical or physical, we need to look at the characteristics of the reaction in question. Here are some guidelines:

1. **Chemical Reaction**:
- Involves the formation of new substances with different properties.
- Evidence includes color change, temperature change, gas production, and formation of a precipitate.
- Bonds between atoms are broken and formed.

2. **Physical Reaction**:
- Involves changes in state (solid, liquid, gas) or appearance without changing the substance’s chemical identity.
- Examples include melting, freezing, and dissolving (if no new substance forms).

If you can provide specifics about Reaction 1, such as the substances involved and any observations made during the reaction, I could help you determine whether it was a chemical or physical reaction!

Answer 4

To determine if Reaction 1 was a chemical or physical reaction, consider if new substances were formed. If new products with different properties emerged (e.g., color change, gas production), it was a chemical reaction. If only changes in state or appearance occurred without changing the substance itself, it was a physical reaction. Please provide details about the reaction for a specific answer.

Answer 5

Reaction 1 was a chemical reaction. I know this because there were observable signs of a new substance being formed, like a color change and gas being produced. These changes indicate that the original substances reacted to create something different, which is a hallmark of a chemical reaction.
