Is mixing crushed chalk with water a chemical or physical change?

Definitely chemical. I can tell because when I do it, it lets off a sulfur smell, indicating that hydrogen sulfide has been released. I've run the same test with other acids and come up with similar results, only the residue left behind after evaporation is different. The hydrogen must be bonding with the sulfur inside the chalk and creating that strong smell (more noticeable if you use a odorless acid). Did you know that pure elemental sulfur is odorless? The true chemical you smell is hydrogen sulfide, not plain sulfur.
