Two beakers contain clear. colorless liquids. when the contents of the beakers are mixed a white solid is formed, (a) is this an example of a chemical or a physical change? (b) what would be the most convenient way to separate the newly formed white solid from the liquid mixture-filtration, distillation, or chromatography.

1) chemical change

2) filtration

Explanation:

A chemical change involves the formation of a new substance. In this case, the pure white solid formed is an entirely new substance, with a different chemical identity from those of the two solutions mixed to form it. The new solid is a precipitate. Precipitates are easily separated by filtration of the reaction mixture. Another name for chemical change is chemical reaction.
