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.
No, the evaporation of dry ice is a physical change, not a decomposition reaction. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, and when it evaporates, it changes directly from a solid to a gas without undergoing a chemical reaction.
It is a physical change because no chemical process is being done, only the fact that it was wet now is dry, a chemical change would be putting salt on ice.
physical
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.
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.
I just had this question for a chemistry and it is a physical change
turn directly into gas....
Evaporation of water, melting of rocks in volcanoes, melting of ice etc. are natural physical processes.
1. The term evaporation is not adequate for dry ice (solid carbon dioxide); the correct term is sublimation.2. Water remain salty.
Physical change, called sublimation. It still stays CO2
i think it is chemical but it may be physical.
Ice can disappear over a period time in a freezer due to evaporation. Most freezers have a very dry environment with low humidity.
