Question

Aurelia dropped a piece of metal into a beaker, and then she added acid to it. She saw colorless bubbles rising from the metal. The metal began to turn black. What type of change did Aurelia see?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical change

Explanation:

From all indicators, Aurelia is seeing a chemical change occurring in the reaction here.

A chemical change is a change in which new substances are produced. For every chemical change:

• they are not easily reversible
• they lead to production of new kinds of substances
• involves mass change
• require considerable amount of energy.

We start off and end with:

         Metal   +     Acid →     Black metal     +    rising gaseous bubbles

Clearly, it is shown that new products are formed and this reaction is impossible to reverse in order to get the reactants back.

This is a typical chemical change.

Answer 2

Answer:

chemical, because a new gas was formed
