What is an example of a physical change that can be reversed?

A reversible change is when something can turn back into its original shape for example when ice is melted it turns into a liquid but then you can freeze it into a solid again do the change is reversible because it can change back into its original starter which is the ice in this case. But if you make a cake it is not reversible because all of the mixture has mixed together and it turns into one object this is called a chemical change. Also a reversible change is a physical change! Hope this helped ;)


Are boiling and melting chemical or physical changes?

It's a physical change. You can turn it back to its original state, and the substance's identity is the same. (ex: water vapor and ice are still H2O)


Is the melting of ice is a chemical or physical change why?

Melting ice is a physical change because the properties of the physical changes say that there is a physical change when the state of a material changes. the ice changes into water after melting .this is temporary change as the property says. you can change water back into ice by freezing.


Is mealting an example of physical or chemical change?

it is a physical change most of the times because you can get i back into its original form. for ice, or plastic... its physical. but for styrofoam, its a chemical change because you cant get it back.


How are chemical changes different from physical?

So, physical can be changed back to the original state... Chemical cannot (unless you use another chemical change) So, melting freezing vaporizing and condensation are physical changes. Chemical is like burning something, or adding a reactive compound/ solution and there being a color change, vapor or smell. There is a bit more to it, but that's the basics.

What is the effect of physical changes?

Physical changes do not change the properties of the substance. You can get back the original state of the substance in most cases by reversing the physical process.


What is a non reversible change?

A reversible change is a change you can make, then put back, however a non-reversible change is a change you can make, then it will be stuck like that


Can a substance produced during a physical change easily change back?

Yes. Chemical changes are irreversible, but physical changes can easily be changed back

What criteria are used to distinguish between a chemical and physical change?

One distinguishing feature between physical and chemical changes is that a physical change can be reverse or turn back to its original form, but chemical change cannot be return to its form because the material change.

What can you change back from a physical change?

A physical can be changed back to it's original form. For example, if you freeze water, it turns into ice. However, if that ice melts, it turns back into it's original form: water.


Why are chemical changes different from physical changes?

Chemical changes cannot be changed back to how they originally whereas physical changes is only the appearance has changed and can be changed back to their original state e.g chocolate (cam be melted and then hardened)

Is Change of state is chemical or physical property?

No, a change of state is not a chemical change, for it can be changed back to its original form and their is no change in the molecular composition of the substance. A chemical change is when it cannot be changed back. The above example is an example of a physical change. Example:- ice when heated changes into water and water when cooled changes into ice.
