Chemistry
One of the conditions necessary for a chemical reaction to occur is :
- Evolution of a gas
- Physical contact between reactants
- Change in colour
- Formation of a precipitate
Answer
Physical contact between reactants
Reason — For a chemical reaction to take place, the reactants must come into close contact, i.e., they should be mixed.
Others are outcomes of a reaction not necessary conditions for a chemical reaction. Gas may or may not be produced in some reactions. Some reactions show colour change. But many reactions occur without any visible colour change. A precipitate is formed only in certain reactions not in all.
