Question

Which of the following is the most likely sign that a chemical change has happened?

A) liquid rests on a table overnight, and some evaporate.
B) two liquids are mixed at room temperature and a gas forms.
C) salt is mixed into water, forming a solution.
D) a solid is crushed into very small pieces.

Answer 1

The correct option is B) two liquids are mixed at room temperature and a gas forms.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical change can be described as a change which results in the formation of a new substance by the reactants. In the option B, two liquids react to form a new product which is a gas. Hence, it is an example of chemical change.

Other options,like option D, is not a chemical change as by crushing a solid no new product is formed. Option C is also not correct because as when salt dissolves in water, no new product is made.
