Which best explains why making a pancake from batter is an example of a chemical change?

-The pancake that forms is a different state of matter.
-The change from batter to pancake can be reversed.
-A new substance forms when the batter is cooked.
-The batter changes shape when it is cooked.

The correct answer is C. A new substance forms when the batter is cooked.

Explanation:

When a chemical change occurs the properties, and composition of substances change. This means atoms in the substance re-arrange to form a new substance. This only occurs when there is a chemical change, but not when physical changes occur, indeed a physical change only affects the state of the matter, shape, size, etc.

In the case of the pancake, this is an example of a chemical change because though the process of cooking the pancake changes its composition. Due to this, the properties of the cooked pancake, and the butter are not the same as a new substance forms. Also, in this and most chemical changes, reversibility is not possible, that is why you cannot reverse the process and make the cooked pancake batter once again.
