A chemical reaction occurs when a chemical change takes place. Meaning that for example, say burning wood is a chemical change. The wood turns into a new substance causing a new properties to form. Like a paper in shreads is a physical change because it is still paper and made from the same state. Sand into glass is a chemical change because it isn't sand anymore of course but was heated and shaped to become a chemical change

Give three things you might see if a chemical reaction takes place?

There are many observations that may occur when a chemical reaction takes place. Some of the things are:- Change of colour, change of temperature change of state. These can be observed by the features below There might be a change in colour when mixing the reactants; the vessel in which the reaction is taking place might get warm on the outside or cold depending on the type of reaction. There may be effervescence or fizzing with gas production; a precipitate may form.


Why does this indicate that a chemical reaction might have occurred?

Some indicators of a chemical reaction are: - change of color - change of odor - release of a gas - change of the temperature - change of the viscosity - formation of a precipitate - change of general appearance - possible explosion - possible chemiluminiscence


Is boiling water for soup a physical change or chemical?

this is a tough one but it might be chemical because the steam is a new form of matter


What evidence demonstrates that a chemical change has taken place?

You might observe a change in color, gas bubbles being formed, a change in temperature (this might require the use of a thermometer, unless the solution actually boils), or you can test for a specific chemical by using an indicator, or analyse the solution by means of a mass spectrometer. Explosions are also a very convincing form of evidence that a chemical change has taken place.


What Three Things can happen when a Chemical Reaction occur?

A chemical reaction can change a substance into a solid, liquid, or gas. It may cause a substance to explode or could cause no change at all.

List three signs that could make you think a chemical reaction might be taking place?

Formation of bubbles or gas: Gas evolution can indicate a chemical reaction is occurring. Change in color: A sudden change in color could be a sign of a reaction, such as a shift from clear to cloudy. Temperature change: If the reaction generates heat (exothermic) or absorbs heat (endothermic), it can be an indication that a chemical reaction is taking place.

Is the toasting of bread a physical or chemical change?

This is a physical change and might include a chemical change due to the heat involved in taking the bread to its final appearance. the physical change because, there is a change in color(colour) and a slight change in shape depending on the toaster you are using.

Is oxidation a physical change?

Oxidation typically involves a chemical change where a substance loses electrons. While you might observe physical changes associated with oxidation, such as a change in color or texture of the material, the process itself is primarily a chemical change.


What does a1 mean on a gun?

Indicates a model change from the original. The original might be a Model 1911. When it has a design change, it is now a Model 1911A1.


How would you determine if a chemical change has occurred?

You can determine if a chemical change has occurred by looking for signs such as a change in color, formation of a precipitate, evolution of gas, or release of heat or light. Additionally, if the chemical composition of the substance has been altered, it is likely that a chemical change has taken place.

How might a thermometer help you decide if there was any chemical change on mixing iron and charcoal?

For a chemical change to occur, there must be a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction would be either endothermic (uses energy, mostly heat), or exothermic (produces energy, again mostly heat). Any change in temperature of the reactants, as measured by a thermometer, will tell you not only ifa chemical reaction occurred, but also which kind of chemical reaction. No temperature change usually indicates that no reaction has occurred, a decrease in temperature would indicate an endothermic reaction, while an increase in temperature would indicate an exothermic reaction.
