What happens in a physical change that distinguishes it from a chemical change?

• The properties of the substance may change, but no new substances are produced.

• The properties of the substance change for only a short time, but they will return to their original state.

• An entirely new substance with new properties forms as a result of the change.

• A new substance is produced, but the new substance has properties identical to the original substance.

Four mixtures are made by combining two clear liquids, and observations are made. Which mixture demonstrates that a chemical change has occurred?

• Mixture 1: The combined liquids have a greater mass than either of the starting liquids.

• Mixture 2: The liquids, when mixed, produce a white solid that settles to the bottom.

• Mixture 3: The mixture of the two liquids takes the shape of the container.

• Mixture 4: The denser of the two liquids lies below the other, less dense liquid.
