It is a physical change because it's still a form of water just a different state.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
The change of water to steam is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this case, the water molecules are simply changing phase from a liquid to a gas, but the chemical composition of water remains the same.
The process of heat changing water to steam is a physical change. During this transformation, water molecules gain energy and move from a liquid state to a gaseous state, but their chemical composition remains the same (H₂O). In a physical change, the substance alters its form or state without changing its chemical identity.
physical only, you are only changing its state, not its composition.
No. Steam is water vapor. Steam is formed by boiling water, which is a physical change.
No, the bubbles in boiling water for noodles do not indicate a chemical change. The bubbles are formed due to the physical process of water reaching its boiling point and turning into steam bubbles. This is a physical change, as only the state of the water molecules is changing, not their chemical composition.
Water changing from liquid to solid (ice) or gas (steam) is a physical change, as the chemical composition of water remains the same. However, when water undergoes electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas, it is a chemical change as the chemical composition of water is altered.
no, physical. The steam can return to water if cooled. Chemical changes are irreversible.
The formation of steam is a physical change. The chemical composition of steam (water vapor), is H2O, and the chemical composition of liquid water is H2O, so there is no chemical change going from liquid to gas (vapor/steam). Thus, it is a physical change.
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.
It's a physical change because no new substances are formed, the molecules simply get further apart.
The change of water to steam is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this case, the water molecules are simply gaining enough energy to break free from their liquid state and form a gas. No new substances are formed in this process.
