Chemical Reactions and Their Indicators

The video tutorial explains the differences between physical and chemical phenomena, highlighting that physical changes do not alter the chemical identity of substances, while chemical changes do. It uses analogies to illustrate chemical reactions and discusses how to identify them through evidence such as color change, gas formation, and temperature change. The tutorial also covers various types of chemical reactions, including single and double displacement, synthesis, and decomposition, providing examples for each.

What is an example of a physical phenomenon?

• Rusting of iron

• Burning of wood

• Melting of ice

• Baking a cake

What happens to the identity of substances in a chemical phenomenon?

• It remains the same

• It changes

• It evaporates

• It becomes a mixture
