What are indications that a chemical reaction has occurred?

Redirected from "Suppose that I don't have a formula for #g(x)# but I know that #g(1) = 3# and #g'(x) = sqrt(x^2+15)# for all x. How do I use a linear approximation to estimate #g(0.9)# and #g(1.1)#?"

See below.

Explanation:

The indications of a chemical change or a chemical reaction has occurred are the following:

  1. Formation of a precipitation.
  2. Change in color.
  3. Evolution of gas.
  4. Evolution or absorption of heat.
  5. Odor.

Here is a video that features experimental procedures on physical and chemical change:
