Suppose that a substance in a beaker is heated over a burner in a science lab. Which observation would most likely indicate that a chemical change has occurred in the substance?

A
If the substance is a liquid or solid, an increase in temperature would indicate a chemical change.
B
If the substance is a liquid, a change of some of the liquid to gaseous form would indicate a chemical change.
C
If the substance is a solid, a change of some of the solid to liquid form would indicate a chemical change.
D
If the substance is a liquid or solid, production of an odor would indicate a chemical change.

Tijuan mixed a solid and a liquid together in a beaker. He determined that a chemical change occurred.

A
ice mixed into warm oil, because the change of state that occurred when the ice melted cannot be reversed
B
baking soda mixed into vinegar, because the production of bubbles indicates that a new substance formed
C
sugar mixed into hot water, because the disappearance of solid indicates that the chemical identity of the sugar changed
D
sand mixed into water, because when sand was added the mass of the beaker increased
