The two responses that could provide definitive evidence of a chemical reaction are:

  1. A new substance, rust, has formed.
  2. A new substance, oxygen gas, has formed.

These indicate that a chemical change has occurred, resulting in the formation of new substances. In contrast, the freezing of water and the dissolving of a solid are physical changes, not chemical reactions.
