PLEASE ANWER QUESTION FOR 20 POINTS

A group of chemistry students had to identify six white powders. The students used a variety of tests to identify the powders. They computed the density of each powder. They checked to see if any dissolved in water. One of the powders did not dissolve in water and they thought it was cornstarch. Someone knew that cornstarch felt slippery and reacted with iodine. The students put a few drops of iodine on each white powder. One powder turned black; they guessed that it was cornstarch. They heated the powders in a Bunsen burner flame to see if any would melt. One did and they guessed it might be a sugar.

Which test result indicated a chemical change had taken place?

A)
dissolves in water

B)
feels slippery in water

C)
melts when heated in a flame

D)
turns black when iodine is added
