Give one example of each: (a) Chemical reaction showing evolution of gas:

(a) Chemical reaction showing evolution of gas: Reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid: Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas, which can be tested with a burning match (it will produce a pop sound). Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

(b) Change in color of a substance during a chemical reaction: Copper sulfate solution and iron nails: When iron nails are placed in a blue copper sulfate solution, the solution turns green as iron replaces copper in the solution. CuSO₄(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu(s)

​(c) Chemical reaction showing change in temperature: Quicklime and water: When water is added to quicklime (calcium oxide), a lot of heat is released, and the mixture becomes hot. CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + heat
