Clues to chemical change often have practical applications. a) Bubbles of carbon dioxide gas form when a geologist puts acid on a rock that contains compounds called carbonates. b) When a test strip is dipped in urine, the color change is used to estimate the level of the sugar glucose in urine. c) One step in the production of cheese is a reaction that causes milk to separate into solid curds and liquid whey.
When the liquids in photograph A are mixed, they react. None of the products are gases. Analyzing Data How do you know that a reaction took place and that mass was conserved during the reaction?
