Yes it is a chemical reaction between the calcium and the oxygen [i may be wrong their] but the rate of reaction is very slow.
Chemical Change.
Souring milk! (Heh, I hate section reviews!)
It's a chemical change. The smell is the giveaway; a smell that wasn't there before is often an indicator of a chemical change. Also, the rate at which the milk sours can be changed by heat. For example, milk in the refrigerator is actually undergoing this souring reaction at all times, but the lower temperature inside the refrigerator slows it down so that it takes many days. But if you leave it outside the refrigerator, it will sour much more quickly - in a matter of hours. An increase in heat, therefore, quickens the reaction rate. This would not be the case in a physical change.
Both milk souring and iron rusting are chemical changes.
It is not physical but rather chemical: milk sugar (lactose) is converted to lactic acid by Lactobacillus bacteria.

Souring milk causes a chemical change because it changes its state of matter (from a liquid to a semi-solid), and it grows bacteria. When milk sours it causes a permanent change, therefore making it a chemical change.
