There are some give aways that you can easily see which tell you that you have a chemical reaction. 1) bubbling or foaming (careful though because you have to make sure that this bubbling is not because of boiling)

2) color change which is different than the color of original reactants (if one liquid is purple and another liquid is clear and you mix them together and the whole thing turns purple then it is not a reaction, just a mixture, even if you try to say that the clear liquid turned purple)

3) evidence of a precipitate, meaning something solid there when there was nothing solid there before

4) release of energy as in electromagnetic, heat, a flow of electrons, even a decrease in temperature (the sun however does not go through a chemical reaction even though it gives of heat)

What does the hot test tube indicate?

A hot test tube typically indicates that a reaction is occurring inside the test tube, as heat is often used to speed up chemical reactions. It could also indicate that a sample is being heated to change its state or to facilitate a specific chemical process. Additionally, it could suggest that the contents of the test tube are being sterilized.


Is heating red lead in a test tube a chemical change?

Yes, heating red lead in a test tube is a chemical change. The process of heating causes the red lead to undergo a chemical reaction, leading to a change in its chemical composition. This change is irreversible.


When mixing 0.1 M FeCl3 and 0.1 N KSCN is it a chemical or physical change?

The mixing of 0.1 M FeCl3 and 0.1 N KSCN to form the blood-red complex FeSCN2+ is a chemical change because new substances with different chemical properties are formed due to a chemical reaction occurring between the Fe3+ ions and the SCN- ions.
