How do you know whether osmosis has taken place?

Osmosis has taken place when there is a net movement of solvent molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. This can be observed by changes in the volume or concentration of the solutions on either side of the membrane.


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.


Can you list three kinds of changes that indicate a chemical reaction has taken place?

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.


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.
