A change of phase doesn't change the chemical composition of a substance.
a physical change
A physical change does not change the identity of matter.
No, the chemical nature of the reactants is changed.
A physical change is a change in matter where its identity remains the same. Examples include changes in state (solid to liquid), size (cutting a piece of paper), or shape (bending a metal rod).
Physical change.
because they change the identity of the matter
the volume or mass of the matter. it can change states such as solid liquid or gas, which would be deemed to be the same chemical identity, but a different state of matter
Any change in matter that is does not require the identity of the matter to change is physical. Things like sizzling, popping, effervescence, etc. are physical change. Something to keep in mind though: Anything that burns is undergoing chemical change, no matter what. Any combustion is chemical.
Changes of the matter that do not change the composition of the substance.
A change in the identity of the matter undergoing change involves a chemical change. During a chemical change, the substances involved undergo a transformation that results in new substances with different properties. Examples include reactions such as rusting of iron or combustion of wood, where the original materials are fundamentally altered. In contrast, physical changes do not alter the chemical identity of the substance.
Physical property
Many physical changes will not alter the identity. However, some physical changes, such as heating or cooling will result in phase changes and so the identity will be different. While ice and water are chemically the same, they are not identical forms of the substance.
