A student determines the density, solubility, and boiling point of two liquids, Liquid 1 and Liquid 2. Then he stirs the two liquids together and heats them. After stirring and heating the liquids, two different liquids form, Liquid 3 and Liquid 4. Then the student determines the density, solubility, and boiling point of Liquids 3 and 4. He concludes that a chemical reaction occurred. Here are his results:

How does the student know that a chemical reaction has occurred? (S8P1.f)

• The student knows that a chemical reaction has occurred because Liquid 3 has different properties than Liquid 4.

• The student knows that a chemical reaction has occurred because Liquid 1 has different properties than Liquid 2.

• The student knows that a chemical reaction has occurred because Liquids 3 and 4 have different properties than Liquids 1 and 2.

• The student knows that a chemical reaction has occurred because a chemical reaction always occurs when 2 liquids are mixed together.
