1.

Which lab experiments below describe a situation where a chemical change has occurred? Check all that apply.

a)

After adding zinc (Zn) to hydrochloric acid (HCl), a student observes bubbles forming in the solution and a thermometer registers a 10°10\degree  change in temperature.

b)

A student uses a mortar and pestle (a grinding stone) to break up large pieces of ammonium thiocyanate ( NH4SCNNH_4SCN  ) into smaller pieces.

c)

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°15\degree  change in temperature.

d)

A student dissolves sugar ( C6H6O6C_6H_6O_6  ) into water ( H2OH_2O  ). The sugar crystals seem to disappear.
