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.

The student observed that the temperature changed from 25°C to 23°C when the solutions were combined and that a white substance rapidly formed and settled to the bottom of the container. What most likely happened to produce these results?

• One of the original compounds came out of solution.

• The solutions reacted chemically.

• Some of the water froze into ice crystals.

• Rapid evaporation of water occurred, leaving a solid.
