Boiling water is an example of a physical change because the water being boiled is only changing its state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma), its identity is not being altered since after boiling the water, it is still water. However, some changes are harder to tell. Cooking, for example, is a chemical change because it is more than the physical appearance(s) that is/are being altered through the action despite reference being the same. Chicken is chicken and frying a chicken does not change the fact that it is a chicken but it is no longer just chicken as changes have occurred beyond the physical.

What are different between evaporation and boiling?

Boiling- i) It is a bulk phenomena.ii) The substance changes it's state only at it's boiling point.iii) It doesn't give a cooling effect.Evaporation- i) It is a surface phenomena.ii) The substance does not change only at it's boiling point.iii) It gives a cooling effect.EVAPORATIONevaporation takes place silentlyit takes place at all temp.its a natural processit takes place only on surfacerate of evaporation depends on area of free surfaceBOILINGits associated with characteristic soundits takes place at all temp.to be heated for boilingat constant temp. boiling takes placeboiling takes place at all regions of liquidit does not depend on free surface

A change of phase takes place at a constant?

A change of phase takes place at a constant temperature and pressure. During a change of phase, the substance absorbs or releases latent heat without a change in temperature.


Is a phase change of water chemical or physical?

It is a physical change. Frozen water ... ice ... is still water. Boiling water ...steam ... is still water. No chemical change takes place in either case.
