Stirring dry yeast into a bowl of hydrogen peroxide
causes bubbles to form. Blowing air into a glass of milk
with a straw also causes bubbles to form. One of these is
a physical change, and the other is a chemical change.
PHYSICAL CHANGE: Blowing air into a glass of milk with a straw This is physical because someone is causing the change
CHEMICAL CHANGE: stirring dry yeast into a bowl of hydrogen peroxide This is a chemical change because chemicals are changing the subject. So it’s being chemically changed!
Answer: If the reaction is a chemical change, new substances with different properties and identities are formed. This may be indicated by the production of an odor, a change in color or energy, or the formation of a solid.
