Indications of a Reaction

Identify ALL evidences of a chemical reaction.

• Change of state (liquid to gas)

• Color change

• Temperature change

• Tearing a paper

• Burning a paper

Which statement below describes a PHYSICAL change?

• Burning the crust of the bread when making toast.

• Placing waffles in the toaster and applying butter on it.

• Frying an egg to make an egg sandwich.

• Using a cookie cutter to make heart-shaped cookies.

When a chemical change occurs, ____________ with ___________ is formed.

• a new substance

• different properties

• the same substance

• same properties

Which of the following examples shows that a chemical reaction has occurred? 

• A rock breaks into smaller pieces when it is struck with a hammer.
• Rust forms on a hammer that has been left outside to long. 
• A cup of water turns pink when a few drops of red food coloring are added. 
• A solid is formed when heat is removed from a sample of water. 

A student places a piece of a potato into a container of hydrogen peroxide. One observation the student makes is that bubbles form around the potato. The presence of bubbles might indicate the formation of a new substance because bubbles - 

• could show that a gas is forming
• always rise to the top of a liquid. 
• are almost always perfectly spherical.
• usually burst after a few minutes.

Hydrogen peroxide breaks down to form water and oxygen gas. Which observation is evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred?

• The mass of the solution remains the same.
•  Phase changes are observed.
•  The color of the solution remains clear.
• The temperature of the solution increases. 

A clear liquid from a flask is poured into another clear liquid in a beaker. Which of the following results of this procedure would indicate a new substance was formed?

• The level of the substance in the beaker is higher after the other liquid is added.
• A yellow solid forms and then settles to the bottom of the beaker.
• Small white crystals are left behind in the flask that held the first liquid.

Which of the following is an example that includes evidence of a chemical reaction?

• A sample of zinc is placed in water and it settles to the bottom
• A solid block of ice is heated and it completely melts into a liquid. 
• Sugar that is burned gives off an odor and turns brown and then black.
• A tomato is placed into a blender and chopped up into smaller pieces.

A precipitate is a 

• liquid that forms when two solids are reacted
• a solid that forms when two liquids are mixed
• a gas that forms when vinegar and baking soda react
• a change of color in a solution

If reaction starts with 20g of reactants it should produce 

• a total of 40g of products
• a total of 10g of products
• a total of 80 g of products
• a total of 20g of products
