I would say it is a physical change the chalk is being reduced to a smaller size. It still remains chalk.
Yes, crushing a piece of chalk is a physical change because the chalk is still composed of the same molecules before and after being crushed. The change in appearance is only due to the physical state of the substance.
No, it is a physical, not chemical change.
Breaking a lump of chalk into powder is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. The chemical composition of the chalk remains the same before and after breaking it into powder.
Grinding chalk to chalk dust is a physical change because the texture and size may change but the its molecules are still the same.An example of chemical change is burning paper because ash is chemically different from paper.
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.

Crushing a piece of chalk is only a physical change. Chemically, it is still chalk.

After a piece of chalk is pounded by a fist or rolling pin or other object it normally get crushed and turns into lumpy powder.
When you mix hydrochloric acid with chalk, a chemical change occurs. This is because the acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the chalk to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and calcium chloride. This is a chemical reaction that results in the formation of new substances.
Chalk can be broken into pieces.
It is a physical change because the chalk is still chemically the same substance whether it is in solid form or dispersed in water. The molecules in the chalk are not altered by the process of being put in water.
It's a physical change because it's only changing size and shape, not converting chemicals.
