Which lab experiments below describe a situation where a chemical change has occurred? Check all that apply.
After adding zinc (Zn) to hydrochloric acid (HCl), a student observes bubbles forming in the solution and a thermometer registers a 10° change in temperature.
A student uses a mortar and pestle (a grinding stone) to break up large pieces of ammonium thiocyanate ( NH4SCN ) into smaller pieces.
After combining Unknown A (a solid, white crystal) with Unknown B (a clear, odorless liquid), there is a strong smell produced and a thermometer registers a 15° change in temperature.
A student dissolves sugar ( C6H6O6 ) into water ( H2O ). The sugar crystals seem to disappear.
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 occured?
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 hydochloric acid.
The hydrochloric acid evaporated, leaving only the baking soda.
What key words, when present in a question about chemical reactions, might indicate a chemical change is occuring? Check all that apply.
Bubbling
Fizzing
Dissolving
Evaporating
A student combines two clear, colorless solutions shown here. When combined, the temperature changed from 25° to 23° and a white substance rapidly formed and settled at 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 occured, leaving a solid
Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) forms when coal burns in the presence of oxygen. Which of these is the BEST evidence that a chemical reaction occurs when coal burns?
The shape of the coal changes
Oxygen is present
A new substance is produced
Coal is made up of more than one element
What evidence can you use to infer that a chemical reaction has occurred here?
A dark solid formed on the zinc metal
The zinc metal remained silver-colored and shiny
The CuSO4 solution turned blue when the zinc metal was added
None of these
Observe the chemical equation shown here. What evidence of a chemical reaction is present when 2NO is added to O2 ?
