Leaves change colors for the following reasons:

Once the water supply is cut off in the fall, no more chemical reactions take place for the leaves to make their own food.

As the chlorophyll dissipate from the leaves and there is no water, the leaves begin to dry up.

Once the manufactoring of food stops completely, the leaves dry up and fall from the tree.

The water is turned on by nature in the spring and the leaves begin to make more food and give off oxygen.

Do you think a chemical reaction has taken place Can you explain your reasoning behind your conclusion?

Yes, a chemical reaction has likely taken place if there is a change in the chemical composition of the substances involved. This can be observed through the formation of new substances, changes in color, temperature, or the release of gas. These are all indicators that a chemical reaction has occurred.


If dish of sugar and water solution is left in the sun after a few days the solution has disappeared and a white residue remains on the dish Has a physical or chemical change taken place explain?

Yes, A physical change has taken place. The water has evaporated and left the sugar. Neither substance has changed its identity. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST!


When paper turns yellow brown upon exposure to sunlight what type of change has taken place a chemical or physical change?

A chemical change has taken place. The exposure to sunlight causes the paper to undergo a chemical reaction, breaking down the molecules in the paper and causing the color change to occur.


What are four things that indicate that a chemical change may have taken place?

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.


Is a erosion caused by wind a chemical change?

No, erosion caused by wind is a physical change, not a chemical change. The wind is simply moving particles of rock or soil from one place to another without altering their chemical composition.

Is leaves produce oxygen a physical or a chemical change?

Its a chemical change. Leaves breathe in carbon dioxide. They use it to carry out the process of photosynthesis that is preparation of food for growth. Chemical changes involving salts, water, carbon dioxide take place in the presence of sunlight that results in the liberation of oxygen into the atmosphere. At night however in the absence of sunlight it breathes in oxygen to prepare food, since photosynthesis is not possible due to absence of sunlight.


Is melting ice into water a chemical change?

No. It is a physical change. The chemical formula for water is H2O, and that is also the chemical formula for ice. So there is no chemical change taking place, only a change in the state of matter.
