Many physical changes will not alter the identity. However, some physical changes, such as heating or cooling will result in phase changes and so the identity will be different. While ice and water are chemically the same, they are not identical forms of the substance.

Is aqueous a physical or chemical change?

The term "aqueous" refers to a substance dissolved in water, which itself is a physical change. When a solid dissolves in water, it typically retains its chemical identity, meaning that the process is reversible. However, if a chemical reaction occurs in the aqueous solution, that would be a chemical change. Thus, "aqueous" describes a physical state rather than a specific change.
