The changing of water to steam is a physical change because it is still water, but only in a different state. The steam can change back into water which is a reversible change. Chemicals changes cannot change back. They are permanent.

If water if heated and changed into steam is this a chemical or physical change?

The change of water into steam is a physical change. This is because the molecules of water are simply being rearranged into a different state (liquid to gas) without undergoing any chemical reactions.


When water is heated and changed into o steam is that a chemical or physical change?

The change from water to steam is a physical change. It involves a change in the physical state of the substance without any alteration in its chemical composition. The water molecules are still the same, they are just being converted from a liquid to a gas state.

Is the glowing of a platinum wire in a flame a physical or chemical change?

It is a physical change. A physical change involves changing a substance only in its appearance, smell, taste, feel, or sound. A chemical change involves changing what makes up the substance or the way the substance reacts with other substances. When a normal platinum wire is placed over a flame, it glows. This is a physical change because the things that make up the platinum have not been changed, but the appearance has changed.

What is a physical change rather than a chemical change?

`A physical change is one in which matter is changed into another physical state without changing its chemical constitution(eg-ice melts to water,in both case substance is H2O).A chemical change is where there is a chemical change of the substance during the process(eg-CaCO3 is heated to form CO2 and CaO,here the new substance formed is unrelated chemically to parent substance.)
