Is ice wedging chemical weathering?

No, it is physical weathering. Ice wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks and freezes. Water expands when it freezes, and when that happens it can crack the rock, causing the rock to break down over time. No chemical changes occur during this process. The water stays water, it just changes state, and the rock stays rock, it just breaks down into smaller pieces.
