Introduction: In a chemical change, the identities of substances change and new substances form. In an equation the substances on the left are the reactants. The substances on the right are the products. In this experiment the objectives are to observe evidence that a chemical change has taken place. Infer from observations that a new substance has been formed. Identify and record observations that show energy is involved in chemical change observe the color, solubility of some substances and describe reactions by writing word equations.
Hypothesis: I hypothesize that a chemical reaction has occurred when there is a change in temperature, color. But also when there are bubbles and the evolution of gas.
Materials: The materials that were used were Aluminum wire(12 cm), beaker (100 mL), hot plate, copper(II) nitrate (1.0 M), glass stirring rod, gloves, HCl (1.0 M), lab apron , lab marker, NaOH (1.0 M), ruler, safety goggles, test tube (13 mm x 100mm) and test tube rack.
Procedure: Safety goggles, gloves, and lab apron were put on. (Only the ones who were doing the experiment) 50mL of water was placed in the 100mL beaker and heated until boiled. And the boiled water will be used as the water bath. The lab marker was used to make 3 marks (1 cm apart). 1.0 M copper (II) nitrate was added to the first mark on the test tube. 1.0 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added up to the second mark on the test tube. The solutions were mixed with the stirring rod. The test tube was put into the water bath. The burner was turned off and the test tube was cooled. 1.0 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was added to the third mark on the test tube and was mixed. The 12 cm piece of aluminum was placed in the test tube. The wire was removed from the test tube. Lab station and equipment were cleaned.
Observations: I observed that color change occurred and turned blue when Copper (II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide were stirred. Also precipitate was formed. When the test tube was

    In chemistry it is important to understand the difference between physical and chemical changes. The objective of this experiment was to perform tests using heat or chemical mediators and observe the results for any physical or chemical changes. Various materials were heated or mixed, monitored and results recorded. Numerous chemical and physical changes were noted during the procedure. It was possible to distinguish between physical and chemical changes using scientific observations.…

    The purpose of this experiment was used to identify the chemical changes a substance undergoes by knowing some of its chemical properties like (Change in color, producing bubbles and gas, precipitation, conductivity). The aim of today’s lab was to help us identify different households and their components, they contained whether they were acid/ base, because most of the households are based on those solutions like (i.e. Acetic acid = Vinegar = CH3COOH can be used in cooking) or bases solutions like (bleach is applied for cleaning and also to remove dirt’s). And to identify those substances we can do testify them by observing the change in litmus paper (i.e. acids when the dissolve in the solution they produces Hydronium ions H3O+…

    As stated previously the purpose of this experiment was primarily based on about chemical changes. Many chemical changes are viewed through a screen, or read from a book. In this experiment, chemical changes are viewed directly from the eyes of the scientist. The procedure first begins by gathering all needed materials. Next, laying the first powder on four wells, followed by the next powders, each powder was placed on four wells. The liquids were then placed on each powder using the four droppers. Three drops of each liquids were placed on each powder. After observing the chemical reactions, and recording data the powders were then identified.…

    A chemical change is when a new substance forms. A chemical change has happened when there is a change in colour, when gas is smelt or when seeing bubbles, seeing a new solid, or when observing that energy is produced or absorbed in the form of heat and light. An example of a chemical change is when bread is turned into toast. This is a chemical change because the process cannot be reversed, so toast cannot be turned back into bread.…
