Matter that undergoes a physical change has the same chemical make up as the product. For example, when ice melts, the liquid water and ice are still water with the formula H2O. In a chemical change, matter does undergo a change, so that it is no longer the same substance that you started with. For example, magnesium plus hydrochloric acid react to produce the products magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. So the products are completely different from the reactants.

A physical reaction is when no new substances are formed, there is a change of state eg ice melting to a liquid. A chemical change is when the reaction forms a new substance. eg gas bubbles. An acid reaction can be both. You need to look at the reaction taking place, look for change of state (physical) or any colour change or gas bubbles (chemical).
