The silver nitrate is being poured in hydrochloric and slowly it is stirred.
Once finished stirring you can see that the silver nitrate was not mixed with the hydrochloric. An example is when you put chocolate powder on milk it mixes together, while silver nitrate and hydrochloric does not mix.
What is This type of change? Chemical or physical?

This type of change is a chemical change. When silver nitrate (AgNO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), a chemical reaction occurs. This reaction produces a white precipitate of silver chloride (AgCl) and aqueous nitric acid (HNO3). The formation of a new substance (silver chloride) indicates a chemical change.
Is this correct???
