Question

We can see water change state, from ice to steam. This is a __________ change in matter. A) chemical B) combustion Eliminate C) physical D) solubility

Answer 1

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When chemical composition of a substance is not changing in a chemical reaction then it is known as a physical change.

For example, when water change state, from ice to steam then it means solid state is changing into gaseous state.

Therefore, it is a physical change.

And, a reaction which causes change in chemical composition is known as a chemical change.

For example, $Li + Cl \rightarrow LiCl$

Thus, we can conclude that we can see water change state, from ice to steam. This is a physical change in matter.
