What MUST ALWAYS be true for a chemical reaction to occur?
1. Observe the physical properties of sulfur and antimony at room temperature. Note their
physical state, color and solubility in carbon disulfide. The solubility may be observed
qualitatively by dissolving a pinch of the powdered samples in about 3 ml of carbon
disulfide and stirring until the solid sample has dissolved. Record your observations in
the table below.
