If you place a piece of a saltine cracker on your tongue for a few minutes, it begins to taste sweet. Do you think a chemical or physical change leads to this change in taste? Why?
Taste change would indicate that a new substance has formed, which indicates a chemical change
2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) → 18H2O(g) + 16CO2(g) + heat
The above reaction is carried out in a large water jug. The indicators that tell us a chemical change has occurred are
The formation of flames as the reaction is a combustion reaction.
The collection of water that did not escape in the gas phase.
Smoke that is carbon dioxide or water vapor

You are planning an investigation of the physical and chemical properties of sodium (Na) and water. You do a little research and find that a reaction occurs between the two in the reaction seen below.
Na (s) + H2O (l) → NaOH (aq) + H2 (g) + heat
At the end of the experiment, you notice that the total mass after the reaction is complete is less than the initial mass. This observation can be explained by
The loss of H2 gas
The Mentos and Coke experiment is this type of change for this reason
The mentos is a rough candy and provides a nucleation point of the carbonation already dissolved in the Coke. This makes the mentos and Coke experiment a physical change.
Why do we use baking soda instead of starch to make cakes fluffy?
Starch does not react with water or acid to make bubbles. Bubbles are what make cakes fluffy. Baking, soda, however, will make bubbles
One pollutant produced in automobile engines is nitrogen dioxide (NO2). It changes to form nitrogen oxide (NO) and oxygen gas when exposed to sunlight. Of what reaction type is this an example?
This is a decomposition reaction
A thin strip of iron with a mass of 15.5g is placed into a solution containing 21.0g of copper (II) sulfate and copper begins to form. After some times, the reactions stops because all the copper (II) sulfate has reacted. The iron strip is found to have a mass of 8.5g. The mass of copper formed is found to be 8.60g. What mass of iron (II) sulfate has been formed in the reaction?
Mass of iron = Initial mass – Final mass
= 15.5 – 8.5 = 7.0g
Mass of copper (II) sulfate = 21.0g
Mass of copper = 8.60g
According to law of conservation of mass,
Mass of iron + Mass of copper (II) sulfate = Mass of copper + Mass of iron (II) sulfate
7.0g + 21.0g = 8.60g + Mass of iron (II) sulfate
So, Mass of iron (II) sulfate = 19.40g
Explain why it is best to store many chemicals in tightly sealed bottles in dark locations at cool or moderate temperatures
A tightly sealed bottle keeps reactive substances in air away from the chemicals so they cannot react with them. Storing chemicals at low temperatures slow down any possible reactions that may occur. The dark bottle prevents light from reacting the chemicals, which could also start up a reaction.
