Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical change is otherwise known as a chemical reaction. A chemical change is characterized by the formation of new substances, evolution of heat and change in chemical composition of substances. The change in the composition of substances during a chemical change is the result of the making and breaking of chemical bonds during a chemical change.

A chemical change is not easily reversible because it involves changes in chemical composition of substances.

An example of a chemical change is the combination of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid according to the reaction equation;

HCl(aq) + NaOH (aq) -----> NaCl(aq) + H2O (l)

We easily notice the change in the chemical composition of each of the substances involved in the reaction.
