5 Indicators of a

Chemical Change
From this lesson you
will be able to
determine if a
chemical change has
taken place (IPC 8A &
Chem 4A).
What is a Chemical Change?
• It is a change that occurs when a
substance changes composition by
forming one or more new substances.
• The new substances/products that
are formed have a different
chemical formula from the original
substances/reactants at the
beginning.
5 Indicators of a Chemical
Change
• Take a look at the video of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
reacting with Magnesium (Mg) strips. What do you
observe that indicates a chemical change is taking
place?
What did you observe?
Bubbles
Mg + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2
Production of Gas is an
indicator of a Chemical
Change.
This reaction is very similar to the reactions that
take place in the digestive track when Hydrochloric
Acid (HCl) in your stomach aids in the digestive
process. Digestion is a chemical change.

• Take a look at the video of a Magnesium (Mg) strip
reacting with Oxygen (O2) while burning. What do
you observe that indicates a chemical change is
taking place?

What did you observe?
Light
2Mg + O2 2MgO

Formation of Light is an
indicator of a Chemical
Change.
This is the same reaction that is used to
make fireworks and sparklers.

Change
• Take a look at the video of two clear liquids, Lead
II Nitrate Pb(NO3)2 reacting with Potassium Iodide
(KI). What do you observe that indicates a
chemical change is taking place?
What did you observe?
Yellow Color Change and a
Precipitate (insoluble solid)
Pb(NO3)2 + 2KI PbI2 + 2KNO3

Permanent Color Change and


Formation of a Precipitate are two
indicators of a Chemical Change.
Reactions like these are used in water
treatment plants to form precipitates that
help remove calcium, magnesium, iron, and
manganese ions from the water.

• Take a look at the video of two solids, Barium
Hydroxide Octahydrate reacting with Ammonium
Thiocyanate. What do you observe that indicates
a chemical change is taking place?
What did you observe?
A Temperature Change
Ba(OH)2.8H2O + 2 NH4SCN --> Ba(SCN)2 + 10 H2O + 2 NH3

Temperature Change is an
indicator of a Chemical Change.
Endothermic Reactions =
absorb heat and feel cold

Exothermic Reactions =
release heat and feel hot
Let’s Review
The 5 Indicators of a Chemical Change are…

1. Production of Gas

2. Production of Light

3. Permanent Color Change

4. Formation of a Precipitate

5. Temperature Change
Test Your Knowledge
• Go to the Live Chem website below:
• http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/vrchemistry/LiveChem/transitionmetals_content.html
• While in the Virtual Chemistry Lab, perform the following 5
experiments and record whether they demonstrate a
chemical change. Then choose 5 other experimental mixes
of your own and record whether they demonstrate a
chemical change. Use the 5 Indicators of a Chemical
Change to support your findings for all 10 experiments
conducted.
• Click on the next slide for the Lab Write-up.
5 Indicators of a Chemical Change Lab
Purpose: The purpose of this lab experiment is to determine whether a chemical
change has taken place using the 5 indicators of a chemical change.

Safety Equipment Necessary: If you were performing these experiments in the


laboratory, what safety measures would you need to take to ensure your safety
and the safety of others around you?
Data Table:
Salt from the Top + Reagent from the Bottom Is there a chemical change? Evidence to support your findings:

Cu +2 + Na2SO3

Fe +3 + Mg Turnings

Cu +2 + Zinc Granules

Ti +3 + AgNO3

Cu +2 + KI
