Chemical Changes

The video explains how baking is similar to chemistry, focusing on the concept of mixtures and chemical changes. It describes how mixtures can sometimes be separated, while chemical changes result in new substances that cannot be undone. Examples include burning a match and baking a cake, both of which demonstrate irreversible chemical changes through color change, heat, and gas release. The video concludes by summarizing the evidence of chemical changes.

What is a key similarity between baking and chemistry?

• Both can be done without any preparation.

• Both require careful timing and measuring.

• Both involve the use of identical equipment.

• Both require the use of a stove.

Which of the following is an example of a chemical change?

• Chopping vegetables.

• Dissolving sugar in tea.

• Burning a match.

• Mixing sand and water.

What is a common sign that a chemical change has occurred?

• The substance changes color.

• The substance can be easily separated.

• The substance remains unchanged.

• The substance becomes colder.

What happens to cake batter when it is baked in the oven?

• It evaporates completely.

• It becomes a liquid.

• It remains unchanged.

• It transforms into a new substance.

Which of the following is NOT evidence of a chemical change in baking a cake?

• The cake batter changes color.

• The cake becomes fluffy due to gas release.

• The cake releases a pleasant smell.
