Solution
Two observations that may suggest that a chemical reaction has taken place are:
- Evolution of a gas
- Change in temperature
For example, zinc granules react with dilute sulphuric acid to evolve hydrogen gas, which is easily observed by the bubbles of hydrogen gas appearing around zinc granules. Also, the flask becomes hot, which shows that heat is evolved during the reaction. That is, a change in temperature.
\[\ce{Zn + H2SO4 -> ZnSO4 + H2\uparrow + Heat}\]

While performing the experiment with raisins to determine the percentage of water absorbed by them, a student made following measurements:
Mass of water in the beaker = 40 g
Mass of raisins before soaking = 5 g
Mass of raisins after soaking for 2 hours = 8 g
Mass of water left in the beaker after the experiment = 35 g
The percentage of water absorbed by raisins is:
A student weighed some raisins and recorded the weight as ‘x’. She then soaked the raisins in distilled water. After about 2 hours she removed the raisins, wiped them dry and weighed them again, and recorded that as ‘y’. The percentage of water absorbed by raisins may be determined using the relationship.
