Use the following equation: delta G = delta H - T*deltaS. A reaction is spontaneous if delta G is negative.

A reaction will always be spontaneous (under any temperature) only if the change in enthalpy (delta H) is negative and the change in entropy (delta S) is positive.

If this is not the case, the reaction will only be spontaneous (negative delta G) for a range of temperatures (or could be always non-spontaneous)

What is the evidence that a chemical reaction took place when zinc mixed with HCl?

Evidence that a chemical reaction took place when zinc mixed with HCl includes the production of hydrogen gas bubbles, formation of zinc chloride as a product, and an increase in temperature of the reaction mixture due to the exothermic nature of the reaction. Additionally, the disappearance of the solid zinc as it undergoes dissolution is another indication that a chemical reaction has occurred.

Does a chemical reation produce new substances?

"New substances" is a vague description of what happens in a chemical reaction. Simply put though, yes. An example of this would be if you took baking powder and vinegar and mixed them together, the resulting chemical reaction would create Carbon Dioxide. That is a new substance, it wasn't there until the reaction took place.
