A scientist spilled a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) on a lab table.For safety purposes, the scientist sprinkled some baking soda (NaHCO3) onto the spill. Which observation would provide the best evidence that a chemical reaction occurred?

• The baking soda and hydrochloric acid combined, and bubbles formed.
• The baking soda absorbed the hydrochloric acid.
• Some of the baking soda dissolved in the hydrochloric acid.
• The hydrochloric acid evaporated, leaving only the baking soda.
