Question 10 • LA-Chemistry A

During an experiment, Jon exhales through a straw and blows bubbles into a solution. Which observation would most likely indicate that a chemical reaction is occurring?

Answer
A
The bubbles disappear into the solution before reaching the surface.
B
The gas forms a layer above the surface of the solution.
C
The solution becomes very stirred up by the bubbles.
D
The solution becomes cloudy with a white solid.

Explanation

A chemical reaction can produce a new substance with different properties. Carbon dioxide in Jon’s breath can react with substances in the solution to form a white solid, making the solution cloudy. The bubbles, stirring, or gas collecting above the liquid do not by themselves show that a new substance formed.
