Model Answer

Evolution of bubbles (gas produced) and the container becoming warm (heat released/exothermic reaction) confirm that a chemical reaction has taken place.

Explanation

CBSE expects students to name the two observable indicators: production of gas (bubbles of hydrogen) and change in temperature (heat released). Both are standard signs of a chemical reaction from Chapter 1. No equation is needed for 1 mark.
