Chemical Reactions - Evidence of a Reaction

Chemical reactions transform substances into new materials with different properties. Indicators include temperature changes, color changes, gas release, and liquid separation. Examples are baking soda and vinegar cooling, iron rusting, and antacids fizzing. Reactions involve breaking and forming atomic bonds, producing unique substances like water from hydrogen and oxygen. These reactions can be both beneficial and harmful, such as creating medicines or emitting greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. Recognizing these signs helps us appreciate the transformative power of chemistry.
