Yes. If you mix substances and the mixture changes to a color that is not one of the colors of the things you mixed, then a chemical reaction has occurred. For example, mixing white starch with brownish iodine will immediately turn the starch a very dark blue color.
Change of shape can not be used to indicate a chemical reaction has happened. Examples of evidence of a chemical reaction are changes in odor or color.
- a change in color -a change in odour -bubbling -a change of state (eg. solid to liquid, gas to liquid, etc.) either one or a combination of these things can indicate a chemical change.
A change in a physical property of matter can indicate a physical change, such as a change in state (solid to liquid), color, shape, or texture. These changes do not alter the chemical composition of the substance.
A change in state does not necessarily indicate a chemical change. Melting, freezing, boiling, or condensing of a substance are physical changes that do not involve a change in the chemical composition of the substance.
Change in color: If the substance changes color during a reaction, it may indicate a chemical change. Formation of gas: Production of gas bubbles, fizzing, or bubbling is a sign of a chemical change. Temperature change: Significant heat or cooling effects can indicate a chemical reaction is occurring. Formation of a precipitate: When a solid substance forms in a solution, it suggests a chemical change has taken place.
One sign that a change is a chemical change is the production of gas, which may be observed as bubbles or odors. Other indicators can include a change in color, the formation of a precipitate, or a release or absorption of heat. These changes indicate that new substances are being formed, distinguishing chemical changes from physical changes.
- Color is a physical property and the change of color also.- Color change may be a sign of a chemical reaction.
The statement "The substance melts" is not a possible clue that a chemical change has occurred. Melting is a physical change, as it involves a change in the state of matter from solid to liquid without altering the substance's chemical composition. In contrast, color changes, precipitate formation, and bubble production typically indicate chemical changes.
Evidence of a chemical reaction includes color change, formation of precipitate, evolution of gas, and changes in temperature. These changes can indicate that new substances are being formed through the rearrangement of atoms.
Chemical
Some signs that a chemical change has taken place is that a gas can be produced, the temperature can change, and a substance disappears. Other signs are that a solid is formed, the color changes, and a new odor is produced.
Very probable a chemical change; but also physical changes can be the cause.
