Sulphurous acid is not a reaction (chemical or physical); the sulphurous acid (H2SO3) is a chemical compound.
H2SO3 is the chemical formula for sulphurous acid.
So2 + h2o ===> h2so3
chemical reaction
Sulphuric acid = H2SO4
It will be an chemical reaction .
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulphurous acid (H2SO3). This reaction occurs when SO2 dissolves in water, creating a weak acid known as sulphurous acid. Sulphurous acid is commonly found in the atmosphere as a result of industrial processes and volcanic emissions.
chemical how do you know?
The reaction is:Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2
A neutralization reaction is a chemical change.
A physical reaction is when no new substances are formed, there is a change of state eg ice melting to a liquid. A chemical change is when the reaction forms a new substance. eg gas bubbles. An acid reaction can be both. You need to look at the reaction taking place, look for change of state (physical) or any colour change or gas bubbles (chemical).
The chemical reactivity is a chemical property.
Adding water (which is not a reactant) is a physical process.
