Which of these events indicate that a chemical reaction might have occurred?

• Silver jewelry becomes dark because of tarnish.

• Water evaporates from salt water and leaves salt behind.

• A liquid bubbles when heated.

Multiple Choice

A scientist compares two samples of colorless gas present at the beginning and end of a lab process. She wants to determine whether a chemical reaction has occurred. She tests whether each gas is flammable. Neither gas burns when lit. She then measures the amount of each gas. Sample one has a volume of 53 cm³ and a mass of 0.10 g. Sample two has a volume of 39 cm³ and a mass of 0.05 g. What are the scientist’s findings?

• The flammability test shows that the gases are the same, so a chemical reaction did not occur.

• The flammability test shows that the gases are different, so a chemical reaction occurred.

• Density calculations show that the gases are the same, so a chemical reaction did not occur.

• Density calculations show that the gases are different, so a chemical reaction occurred.
