Question
Which observation most likely indicate only a chemical changes taken place
Answers

A chemical change typically involves a transformation that results in the formation of new substances and is often indicated by certain observations. Here are some indicators that suggest a chemical change has occurred:
1. **Color Change**: A substance changes color (e.g., iron rusting turns from shiny metal to reddish-brown).
2. **Gas Production**: Bubbling or fizzing occurs, which may indicate gas is produced (e.g., vinegar reacting with baking soda).
3. **Temperature Change**: The appearance of heat (exothermic reaction) or the absorption of heat (endothermic reaction), indicating a chemical process (e.g., combustion of wood releases heat).
4. **Precipitate Formation**: A solid forms from a liquid solution (e.g., when mixing two clear solutions results in a cloudy solid).
5. **Change in Properties**: New physical properties arise that differ from the original materials, such as changes in odor, taste, or texture.
If you observe one or more of these indicators, it's likely that a chemical change has taken place.
