Is toasting bread an example of a physical or a chemical change?

Yes it is, as the browning of the bread when you toast it, is a reaction between the reducing sugar and amino acids. The reaction is called Maillard reaction. In simpler words, the bread is being "burned" which is a chemical change as it cannot be reversed. You can't get back the same soft,fluffy, white bread after you toast it.

Is lactulose a reducing sugar?

Lactose is classed as a "reducing sugar" as it contains a aldehyde group (-CHO) which is oxidised into (-COOH) when reacted with an oxidant such as Fehling's or Benedict's reagant (alkaline conditions). A redox reaction (also known as an electron transfer reaction) occurs when the reagent is added to the reducing sugar (at 80°C) and the following reaction occurs: 2Cu(OH)2 + R-CH=O → Cu2O + R-COOH + 2H2O as you can see, the 2Cu(OH)2 becomes Cu2O and is hence reduced from Cu2+ to Cu+, making the sugar it has reacted with a 'reducing sugar' :)


Is dissolving sugar in water a chemical property?

No dissolving of sugar is not a chemical property because no reaction takes place.
