Exercise 3.3
EVIDENCES OF CHEMICAL CHANGE

OBJECTIVE: To identify signs/clues that chemical changes are taking place.

EXERCISE
Table 3.2 gives fifteen processes. Identify the process that involves a
chemical change, and write down the evidence which tells you that it is
indeed chemical as shown below.

1. Evolution of heat and light

2. Evolution of gases
3. Formation of precipitate
4. Production of electrical energy
5. Production of mechanical energy
6. Distinct change in odor, odor and taste
