Investigations were carried out in a science lab to explore the topic of chemical and physical changes. investigation a step 1. add 5 tsp. salt to 100 ml warm water. and stir until most or all of the salt is no longer visible. step 2. heat the salt solution on a burner until only a white solid remains. investigation b step 1. mix 10 tsp. white sugar into 100 ml water and stir until most or all of the sugar is no longer visible. step 2. heat the sugar solution on a burner until the solution thickens and turns brown. in which step(s) did a chemical change most likely occur?

Investigation B, Step 2

Explanation:

The colour change is a good indication of a chemical change. The sugar molecules were most likely changing into something else.

Investigation A, Step 1. Wrong. The dissolving of salt is a physical process.

Investigation A, Step 2. Wrong. You simply boiled off the water (a physical process) and recovered the salt.

Investigation B, Step 1. Wrong. The dissolving of sugar is a physical process.

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
