Which indicator would most likely yield a positive test by way of a color change in the water-cookie solution?

Benedicts solution


When a solution is heated and a gas is formed is that a chemical change?

If there is no chemical reaction occurring in the solution as a result of heating then this scenario constitutes a phase change.


Is a solution a physical or chemical change?

A solution is not a change; a solution is represented by a solute dissolved in a solvent; but dissolving (without chemical reaction) is a physical process.


How can the enthalpy change be determined for a reaction in an aqueous solution?

Utilizing a thermometer to measure the temperature change of the solution can be used (along with the mass of the reactant(s)) to determine the enthalpy change for an aqueous reaction, as long as the reaction is carried out in a calorimeter or similar apparatus so that no external heat is added or removed from the system.


Is combining baking soda and vinegar a chemical change?

When you combine them it is a chemical reaction (change) yes, but them combined in a solution is a physical change.


How would cooling down a solution change reaction time?

In general, cooling a solution slows the reaction. You can use the Arrhenius equation to figure out what effect a given temperature will have on a particular reaction (you'll need to know the activation energy).


How could you determine whether phenolphthalein remains in the residue of a titration reaction?

The easiest way is to add back some of the solution you were titrating. If phenolphthalein remains, it will react with the solution and change back to purple. Incidentally, phenolphthalein will always remain in the solution of the titration reaction - it changes color depending upon the pH of the solution, but the indicator itself is not affected by the titration reaction.


How can you decide if a reaction is a Chemical reaction?

Chemical change is when the composition of your elements or solution change. In a simple way to say it, it's when you no longer have the same elements or solution that you started with. You can determine if a reaction is chemical, by observing the chemical properties. Usually it's when there's a color change, a new substance formed, etc.. On the other hand, physical change is when the composition of your substance stay the same, but the physical properties change. For example, liquid water evaporate into H2O gas.


What chemical is used to test for sugars?

Depends on the Sugar: Reducing sugars a normally monosaccharides but there are some disaccharides too like maltose. If its a reducing sugar then you would add Benedicts Reagent (alkaline copper(II) sulphate). You then heat it. if a reducing sugar is present then a precipitate is formed that will be red/orange. A Non-reducing sugar like Sucrose can be tested by first adding benedicts and heating. if no change is present you then add hydrochloric acid to hydrolyse the glycosidic bond. you then add a hydrogen carbonate solution to neutralise the acid. Then repeating the Benedicts and Heating process.


When water is added to a blue solution of copper sulfate the solution changes to a lighter shade of blue Is this an example of a chemical reaction?

If the water being added is pure, and the solvent in the copper sulfate solution was water, then no, this should not result in a chemical reaction. The visual change is due to dilution of the solute


Is vinegar reacting with baking soda a physical change?

This is a chemical change. This is because it is a simple Acid - Base reaction; they neutralise one another to form a salt and water, along with carbon dioxide because baking soda is a carbonate.


Mix mossy zinc to a dilute hydrochloric acid is it physical change or chemical change?

It is a chemical reaction. 2HCl + Zn = ZnCl2 + H2
