Question

Jenna took an open bowl of leftover mashed potatoes from the refrigerator and noticed a difference in smell. She determined that chemical changes occurred since the potatoes were first placed there. Which observations most likely led to Jenna’s conclusion?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter has formed. It involves chemical reactions occurring within a given substance. For the mashed potato, some of the observations might be;

• Turning into liquid of the mash
• Also, the process cannot be reversed
• There might have been a mass change
• The odor comes from the new products that are formed which is from a gas released from the decomposition of the mashed potato.
