Question

part a consider the images depicting change. which statement accurately describes a change taking place in one of the images? a the water in image ii is undergoing a chemical change because there is a change in phase. b the pipes are undergoing a physical change because they are still pipes, nothing new is formed. c a chemical change is occurring in image ii because heat energy is being removed from liquid water. d the pipes in image i are going through a chemical change called rusting, the evidence is the color change.

Explanation:

A chemical change results in the formation of a new substance, while a physical change only alters the physical state or appearance without forming a new substance. In image II, water changing phase (e.g., from liquid to solid or gas) is a physical change as it's still water chemically. In image I, if pipes are rusting, it's a chemical change as a new substance (rust) is formed. Option D correctly states that the pipes in image I are undergoing a chemical change (rusting) with evidence being the color - change.

Answer:

D. The pipes in image I are going through a chemical change called rusting, the evidence is the color change.
