• elemental change
• physical change
• temperature change

A student added white crystals to a clear liquid. The crystals dissolved in the liquid. After a few seconds, the liquid became quite warm and then turned bright red in color. Indications that a chemical change was taking place could be observed when –

• the white crystals were added to the clear liquid.

• the crystals dissolved in the liquid leaving only the liquid visible

• There are no indications of chemical change

• the temperature of the liquid increased and an unexpected color change occurred.
