It is a physical change because even though it is a gas, it can be made back into what it used to be. Just like ice melts into water and water heats and evaporates to gas. Water can easily be frozen back to ice. Gas can turn back to water.

Dry ice sublimating is a physical change of carbon dioxide between a solid state and a gaseous state without going through a liquid state. If it were s chemical change, than it would no longer be carbon dioxide after changing state.

Is subliming ice a chemical change?

No, subliming ice is a physical change where ice changes from a solid directly into a gas without melting into a liquid first. It is a phase transition process and does not involve any chemical reactions or changes in the chemical composition of the ice.

Is dry ice smoking at a concert is a physical or chemical change?

The process of dry ice sublimating, or turning directly from a solid to a gas, is a physical change. No new substances are formed, just a change in the physical state of the dry ice from solid to gas.


Is dry ice changing into theatrical smoke physical or chemical change?

Dry ice doesn't "turn into smoke". Dry ice causes moisture in the air to condense, forming fog. This is a purely physical, not chemical, change.

It isn't. Answer --> It is an example of phase change and thus a physical change. Not a chemical change


Why is dry ice evaporation a physical chainge?

Dry ice is a solid form of cooled carbon dioxide. When it reaches room temperature it changes to gaseous carbon dioxide. Since, there is no change in the chemical composition of dry ice, it is called a physical change.
