Does distillation produce chemical change or a physical change?
physical change because part changes to a liquid or solid, while another part changes to a gas - however the substance is only changing state, so it would be a physical change
Is reacts with oxygen to produce rust chemical property or physical property?
Chemical
What will produce a physical change in one substance and a chemical change in another substance?
A physical change simply alters the shape, size, color and physical state (solid, liquid, gas, plasma state) of a material. Melting ice, boiling water, freezing water, mixing sulphur with iron filings, and even tearing paper will produce physical change. Composition of a substance remains unchanged in case of a physical change.A chemical change involves the breaking of old bonds and the creation of new bonds that hold particles (atoms, molecules) together. In this, a new substance is formed. Rusting of an iron, the formation of white ash of MgO when magnesium wire burns are examples of chemical change.A physical change can be reversed by using physical processes such as evaporation, crystallization, distillation, etc; whereas a chemical change can't be reversed using physical processes.
What is the difference between refineries and petrochemical plants?
A refinery processes crude oil into different components such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel, LPG (light petroleum gases), etc. A petrochemical plant is a chemical plant that will use a petroleum based feedstock, such as LPG or other products from a petroleum refinery to produce a chemical product, such as plastics for example.
Are physical and chemical change different?
Physical change does not produce a new substance. Chemical change produces a new substanceIn a chemical change the atoms/molecules are chemically joined together so they are very hard to separate. were as they are easyer to separate in a physical change

Is the distillation of wine to produce brandy a physical or chemical change?
The change involved in the distillation of wine is chemical. The original chemical make up of glucose changes: (C6H1206 + Zymase = 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Zymase). The change is chemical because the glucose chemically changes into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

What is the diffence between a physical and chemical change?
Physical change doesn't produce a new substance, but a chemical change is a new substance.
