In the table below, come up with two examples each for a physical change, and a chemical change. Give examples that have not already been provided.

1 answer

Certainly! Here are two examples each for a physical change and a chemical change:

Physical Change:

  1. Melting of Ice: When ice melts, it transitions from a solid state to a liquid state, but its chemical composition (H₂O) remains unchanged.
  2. Dissolving Sugar in Water: When sugar is dissolved in water, it breaks down into individual molecules, but no new substances are formed, and the sugar can be recovered by evaporating the water.

Chemical Change:

  1. Rusting of Iron: This process involves the reaction of iron with oxygen and moisture in the environment to form iron oxide (rust), which is a different substance.
  2. Burning of Wood: When wood is burned, it reacts with oxygen to produce ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. The original chemical structure of the wood changes completely.
