Calcium metal is added to a beaker of water. Phenolphthalein indicator immediately changes the solution pink because one of the products, calcium hydroxide, is basic. The other product, hydrogen gas, is visible as the gas evolved at the top of the beaker.

  • how is smell like? the smoke!!!

  • @zumhlian It's somewhat pungent because some of the hydrogen gas and its interaction with compounds (e.g. those that contain sulfur) in the air.

  • This is definitely a chemical change, since two new compounds - hydrogen and calcium hydroxide are produced when calcium is added to water.
