• a new substance has formed
• a solid dissolved in a liquid
• interaction between 2 gases
• a change in the state of matter

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.
• The mass of the combined liquids is greater than either original 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 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.
