This is a physical change. Water can take on 3 forms, ice, gas, and liquid. These would be changes in state.
Tearing, scratching, crushing, change in state, are all physical changes.
Chemical changes must change the substance, not just the appearance.
(i.e. Burning fire into ashes, fireworks exploding...)

Is water evaporating into steam a chemical or physical change?
It is a physical change because the change is reversible.
Is mixing lemonade powder into water a chemical or physical change?
Mixing lemonade powder into water is a chemical change. This is because the powder changes the water molecules and can not be taken out.
Is the melting of ice a physical change or a chemical change?
The melting of ice is a physical change, a change from the solid phase to a liquid phase by adding heat energy. The water can be refrozen into ice again, because it is the same chemical compound, H2O.Melting does not change the chemical elements in the ice (water), only their molecular form.Frozen water turns to liquid water. It is still water, so melting would be a physical change.
What does physical and chemical mean in science?
Chemical change: the composition of the initial reactants is changed. Ex.: thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate. Physical change: the composition is not changed during this transformation. Ex.: boiling of water.
When sun dries the laundry is it physical or chemical change?
It is both physical and chemical. Evaporation of water is a physical process, and reduction of water from clothing is also a chemical process.
Is boliling water a chemical or physical change?
Boiling water is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the water.
Is boiling water a chemical or physical process?
Water boiling is a physical change and not a chemical reaction. In a physical reaction there is no new substance formed as is the case with chemical reactions. In boiling water there is no new substance produced.
Is boiling water on a stove chemical or physical change?
This involves a change of state of the water. Before, during, and after the boiling, it remains water. So, since the substance doesn't change its character, the boiling of water is a physical change.
Is an example of a physical rather then a chemical change?

Boiled water for making pasta is it chemical or physical change?
Boiling is a physical change.
If water is boiling is it a chemical change or a physical change?
It is a physical change. All phase changes are physical, not chemical. The chemical composition of water does not change when it changes from a liquid to a gas, or for that matter, to a solid.
Is cold water heating up to its boiling point a chemical change?
cold water heating up to its boiling point a physical change or a chemical change
When water is boiled is it a chemical or physical change?
Boiling is a physical phenomenon, a change of phase.
