Is dissolving carbon dioxide in water a physical or chemical change?

It's a physical change because carbon dioxide still has it's same properties. It is not changed.Added:Even if you dissolve it in water it is still there thus making it a physical change and not a chemical change. If it were a chemical change then it would be changed for example, fire or burning things like logs and so forth. Dissolving something in water is not changing it completely it only has a minor change in how you see it, thus it is a physical change.The only 'chemical' change might be considered to be the protolysis of water being slightly enhanced by the hydrogen bonding to carbon dioxide molecules. But that is more a (very weak) 'chemical' change of water molecules rather than of CO2 molecules:(CO2)aq + 2 (H2O)l > (Cl-)aq + (H3O+)aq
