In which example are both gas evolution and a colour change observed as signs of a chemical reaction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Heating lead nitrate

On heating, lead nitrate undergoes thermal decomposition. The white lead nitrate changes into yellow lead oxide, and brown nitrogen dioxide gas is evolved. Thus, both a colour change and gas evolution are observed. The reaction is: \(2\mathrm{Pb(NO_3)_2} \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2\mathrm{PbO} + 4\mathrm{NO_2} + \mathrm{O_2}\). In contrast, zinc reacting with dilute hydrochloric acid mainly shows evolution of hydrogen gas, not a clear colour change.
