Potassium metal does not dissolve in water, it is so reactive that it rips water molecules apart releasing hydrogen gas and combining with the remaining hydroxyl group to form potassium hydroxide (potash lye) which then dissolves in the water. This chemical reaction releases so much heat that it ignites the hydrogen gas that was emitted which produces water vapor/steam and a light purple flame (caused by excited potassium ions).
Mixing salt and water is a physical change, not a chemical change. The salt does not change its chemical composition when it dissolves in water, only its physical state.
Melting ice with calcium chloride is a physical change because the ice undergoes a phase transition from a solid to a liquid without changing its chemical composition.
Mixing sodium chloride and water is a physical change. The chemical composition of the sodium chloride (NaCl) remains the same in the solution, the sodium chloride molecules are simply dispersed in the water. The change is reversible and does not involve a chemical reaction.
Adding calcium chloride to sodium carbonate would be a chemical change because it results in the formation of new substances (calcium carbonate and sodium chloride) with different chemical properties than the original reactants.

Physical
Dissolving sodium chloride (table salt) in water is a physical change. When sodium chloride dissolves, it dissociates into its constituent ions (sodium and chloride) but retains its chemical identity. The process is reversible; the salt can be recovered by evaporating the water, demonstrating that no new substances are formed.
no it is a chemical change
Dissolving sodium chloride in water is a physical change because the chemical composition of sodium chloride remains the same. The sodium and chloride ions are simply dispersed throughout the water, but they can still be recovered by evaporating the water.
Sublimation is a physical change.
