A chemical change is slightly the same as a chemical reaction. Except, the mass in a chemical reaction would be conserved, while in a chemical change, that may not happen.

 One of the clues are that there will be a change in temperature. Usually when a reaction takes place heat will be absorbed or released resulting in a change of temperature. Hope this helped!
