Question 8 • Chemistry

When two substances are mixed together, a color change is observed. Does this mean that a chemical reaction has definitely occurred?

Answer
A
Yes because any change indicates a chemical reaction.
B
Yes because color changes occur only when new compounds are formed.
C
No because some physical changes produce color changes.
D
No because color changes are not indicators of chemical reactions.

Explanation

A color change can be evidence of a chemical reaction, but it does not prove one has occurred. Some physical changes, such as mixing or dissolving substances that already have different colors, can also change the observed color. So the best answer is “No because some physical changes produce color changes.”
