because if you then froze the melted water, it would still be ice. an example of a chemical change would be burning a match, because no matter what you do to the burnt out matchstick it will never be able to return to its original state.

∙ 12y agoThe melting of ice is not considered a chemical reaction because it can be done with just ice and nothing else. "Chemical reaction" means a reaction between two or more chemicals. When ice melts, it merely absorbs thermal energy, and thereby changes its state of matter. It has nothing to do with other chemicals.

∙ 11y agoThe melting of ice isn't a chemical reaction because the water that melted off of the ice cube can be refrozen to produce another ice cube.

∙ 11y agoMelting is a physical and not a chemical change because the energy of the molecules is changing instead of the molecules themselves.

∙ 11y agoIce is chemically H2O. After melting, it turns to water, which is still chemically H2O. Since there is no phase change, melting of ice is a physical change and not chemical change.

∙ 11y agoA chemical reaction is combining or separating two different materials.
Water melting is a single material (H2O) changing state from a solid to a liquid.

Is ice cream melting in a bowl a chemical change?
No. It is purely a physical change, that of melting. No chemical reaction takes place.
Is ice melting in tea a chemical reaction?
a chemical reaction transforms a substance into another. in this case, the melting ice would only add more water to your tea, which is already composed primarily of water, infused with tea (leaves). ice melting is only changes the state of the substance--the substance itself does not change!
Is it a chemical or physical change if a piece of ice melts and reacts with sodium?
Melting is a physical process; reaction with sodium is a chemical process.
What is a chemical reaction melting ice rubbing a marker on paper burning a candle rusting iron?
Rusting iron is the chemical change.
When ice melts is it a physical change or a chemical change?
It is a physical change. There is no chemical reaction whatsoever.
Is ice melting chemical reaction?
ice melting is a physical reaction
Is the melting of ice a chemical reaction?
No.
Is ice melting a physical or chemical reaction?
Physical
The melting of ice cubes is a exothermic reaction?
No, it is a physical change, not a chemical reaction.
How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?
Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.
Is ice creme melting a chemical reaction?
yes because every thing that is in ice cream makes it not be a chemical.
Is a melting ice lolly a chemical reaction?
No ice- cream melting is not a chemical reaction, because with a chemical reaction it is hard to get back the original form. But with ice cream melting that is a physical change because you can easily freeze the ice cream again and get it back to normal un-melted ice cream.
Is cooling a drink by putting an ice cube in it a chemical reaction?
No. The ice melting is a physical change.
How is melting ice a physical reaction?
it is certainly not a chemical reaction, and it is still melting something, so it is a physical reaction. it does depend HOW you melt it, but other than that, it is a physical reaction.
Is ice cream melting in a bowl a chemical change?
No. It is purely a physical change, that of melting. No chemical reaction takes place.
Is ice melting. A chemical reaction?
No, it's a physical reaction because it is still water just in a different form.
Is snow melting when salt is added a chemical or physical change?
Melting of ice with salt is example of physical change as there is no chemical reaction involved .
