I don't think burning a gas to power a car is either Chemical nor Physical. If you burn gasoline to power a car, it is therefore a chemical AND physical change because both the chemicals and the look changes. However, a car being powered has nothing to do with the substance of gas being changed. If the car uses the gas to power itself, it'll turn the gas into gas again, so I'm not sure how this works. In conclusion, it's probably neither.

Is the burning of gasoline a physical change or a chemical change?
The burning of gasoline is a chemical change.
Is spilled gasoline drying a chemical or physical change?
Gasoline evaporation is a physical process.
Is evaporated gasoline a chemical change?
No, it would be a physical change. During a chemical change, substance(s) are changed into different substances. An example of a chemical change would be the rusting of iron but a physical change would be freezing water; or in this case, evaporation.
Burning gasoline in a car's engine a physical change or a chemical change?
Chemical but the energy released has physical consequences.
When oil dissolves in gasoline and gives a homogeneous solution is it a chemical change or a physical change?
Dissolution is a physical change.
Consider the burning of gasoline and the evaporation of gasoline which process represents a chemical change and which represents a physical change?
The burning of gasoline is a chemical change. The evaporation of gasoline is a physical change. This is a physical change because it is a change in state of matter (from liquid to gas).
Is the burning of gasoline a physical change or a chemical change?

Is combustion of gasoline a physical change?
Combustion of gasoline changes the chemical properties of the matter, and is thus a chemical change, not a physical one.
Is separation of water and gasoline a physical change?
No, it is a physical change. The water and gasoline retain their chemical and physical properties.

When gasoline evaporates is that a physical carnage or chemical?
This is a physical change.
Does gasoline undergo a physical change before it burns?
The burning of the gasoline is a chemical change.
Is evaporated gasoline a chemical change?
No, it would be a physical change. During a chemical change, substance(s) are changed into different substances. An example of a chemical change would be the rusting of iron but a physical change would be freezing water; or in this case, evaporation.
Is gasoline combusting a chemical or physical change?
the physical comes from the chemical explosion
