Solution
Change of colour — In certain chemical reactions a change of colour is seen to be observed. Heat on substances to observe change in colour of reactants and products.
Heat on:
Zinc carbonate ZnCO3 → ZnO + CO2 [g]
Colour change:
Zinc carbonate [ZnCO3] – White – to Zinc oxide [ZnO] – Yellow (when hot)
