When you open a bottle of soda, bubbles of carbon dioxide start appearing. is this a chemical or physical change and why?

If bubbles aren't a for sure way of knowing a chemical reaction I don't know what is. But being for real, it is a chemical change because the bubbles are releasing carbon dioxide meaning it turned into a product from a reaction with outside forces.

You can still be friends with each other. you don't have to date since he likes someone else. just stick to being friends for now

The activity series is shown in the attached picture. if the element is below the other, then you can displace the other. following the activity series as a guide, the reactions are as follows: nickel and aluminum chloride3 ni + 2 alcl₃  → 3 nicl₂ + 2 albarium and copper bromideba + cubr  →  no reaction because cu is less oxidizable than bapotassium nitrate and aluminum3 kno₃ + al  → al(no₃)₃ + 3 ksodium phosphate and zincnaso₄ + zn  → znso₄ + na
