A chemical change results in the formation of new substances. When hydrochloric acid and magnesium react to produce a gas, new chemical substances are formed. In a physical change, no new substances are created, just a change in physical state or appearance. Since a gas is produced here, it indicates a chemical reaction has occurred.
