1) heat is evolved

2) it is quite difficult to react

3) new compounds are formed while others react

point 3 is the most important as a chemical change is one in which new compounds are formed.

When you mix two substances in a beaker and expect them to undergo a chemical change the temperature of the mixture does not change has a chemical change occurred?

Yes, a chemical change can still occur without a noticeable change in temperature. Some chemical reactions are endothermic (absorb heat) and others are exothermic (release heat), so observing a change in temperature is not always a reliable indicator of a chemical change taking place. Other signs to look for include color changes, gas production, formation of a precipitate, or the release of light.


What are the sing of chemical change?

Signs of chemical change are when a substance changes into a new substance. Like Paper being burned turns into gray powder. That is a chemical change.


Why the signs of reactions for chemical reactions may occur?

Some indicators of a chemical reaction are:- formation of new compounds - change of color- change of odor- release of a gas- change of the temperature (absorption or release)- change of the viscosity- formation of a precipitate- change of general appearance- possible explosion - sometimes a sound is produced - possible chemiluminescence


What identifies a chemical change has taken place?

Signs that a chemical change has taken place include the formation of a gas, the formation of a precipitate, a change in temperature, and a change in color.


Are changes in properties always evidence of a chemical change and why?

No. Boiling water is a physical not a chemical change, and yet clearly steam has very different properties than liquid water does. A chemical change is one which will change the composition or identity of the material. So not only will its properties change, but it's chemical composition will also be changed

What are the signs of physical change from a chemical change?

Signs of a chemical change include the formation of a new substance, a change in color, production of gas or bubbles, release of heat or light, and a change in odor. These changes are not easily reversible and often involve the rearrangement of atoms.


What are signs of a chemical reaction?

Some signs could be: *solids forming *bubbles *color change *temp. change


Is wax melting chemical or physical change?

This is a physical change, not a chemical change! It is because all the wax is still all there as for if it was a chemical change it would be all gone!Physical. Its physical state changed from solid to liquid. It's chemical make up remains the same.Melting wax is a chemical change because a new substance is forming. Trust me im intelligent and we just learned this in science.physical change :)It is a chemical change because it gives off heat even when it is burning. heat is one of the signs that tell whether it is physical or chemical change. The signs are heat , light's ,gas,discolor.Melting was would be a physical change-- no chemical reaction occurs when something melts or boils. A burning candle is a chemical change, both can occur at the same time.

Is a common sign that a chemical change has occurred?

A change in pH or conductivity will always hint to a chemical change. Also less technical signs can be a change in volume or color
