I would argue that in theory all chemical changes are reversible. However it is certainly true that considerations of enthalpy and entropy mean that some are totally impractical to reverse.

Are reversible changes and physical changes the same?

Reversible changes and physical changes are not exactly the same. Reversible changes can be undone and the original substance can be recovered, while physical changes alter the appearance or state of a substance without changing its chemical composition. Physical changes are usually reversible, but not all reversible changes are physical changes.

Is making crisps from cooking oil and potatoes a reversible change or chemical reaction?

Most cooking processes are chemical reactions. Generally, the reactions are non reversible and once cooked, food cannot be returned to an uncooked state. So, frying potatoes causes a non reversible chemical reaction. The question is not as precise as it might be. Changes can be physical or chemical. They can also be reversible or non reversible but it is important to note that many chemical changes are reversible just as many physical changes are reversible.


Are chemical changes irreversible If yes then what about the chemical reactions that are reversible Don't we say that all chemical reactions are chemical changes?

Differences between physical changes and chemical changes?

Physical changes are changes that affect the form of a chemical substance, such as changes in state or shape, without changing its chemical composition. Chemical changes, on the other hand, result in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. Physical changes are usually reversible, while chemical changes are often irreversible.


What Is the difference between physical changes and chemical change?

the difference between a physical change and a chemical change is that a physical change is usually reversible whilst a chemical change is not reversible.

Would freezing an object be physical change or chemical change?

Physical changes and Chemical changes are both the same - this would be a reversible change.


What chemical changes are reversible?

Chemical changes that involve physical changes, such as melting, boiling, or dissolving, are generally reversible. Reactions involving phase changes or reversible reactions where products can revert back to reactants under certain conditions are reversible. An example is the reaction between water and carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid, which can decompose back into water and carbon dioxide.


Can a chemical change be undone?

Some chemical changes are reversible, others are not.
