reactants to end up in the products. (1 pt)
3. Is the above chemical equation balanced? Explain how do you know? (2 pts.)
4. In class we conducted several experiments and demonstrations that showed

chemical reactions. We observed specific changes that gave us a clue that it was a
chemical change not a physical change.
List two specific examples from class that showed a chemical reaction has taken place.
