Drying clothes represents a physical change, not a chemical change. The process simply converts liquid water to gaseous water, so it's only a change in state.

Why is drying wet clothes a physical change?

Drying wet clothes is a physical change because the water molecules on the clothes simply evaporate into the air, changing state from liquid to gas, without altering the chemical composition of the clothes themselves.


Is drying of clothes physical or chemical?

Drying clothes would be a physical change. The clothes themselves do not change either chemically or physically, so one needs to consider the removal or liquid water from the clothes. This is simply a phase change of H2O liquid to H2O vapor (steam). It is still H2O either way, so there is no chemical change. It would be a physical change.


Is drying of fish is a chemical change?

No, drying of fish is a physical change, not a chemical change. The process of drying simply involves the removal of water from the fish, causing it to undergo a physical transformation, but its chemical composition remains the same.


What one what processes is not a physical change drying wet clothes cutting snowflakes out of paper lighting a match from a matchbook?

The answer is lighting a match box because when doing so, the match goes into flames and flammability is a chemical change. When cutting a snowflake, the substances do not change, neither does it change when drying wet clothes. The person earlier said drying wet clothes, but he/she is wrong because when you dry wet clothes, the water goes through a physical change called evaporation, which is NOT a chemical change. I hope this helps. Good luck on your chapter assessments(I'm doing mine too). :)
