It's a physical change because it's only changing size and shape, not converting chemicals.

No, it is a physical, not chemical change.


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

physical :)


Is pulverized chalk a physical or chemical change?

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.


When chalk is crushed is it a physical or chemical property?

Crushing chalk is a physical change, not a chemical change. Physical changes alter the form or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical composition. So, when chalk is crushed, it remains the same substance chemically but in a smaller form.


Is crushing a piece of chalk a chemical change or a physical change?

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


Is breaking a lump of chalk to make powder a chemical reaction?

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.


Why is breaking chalk a physical change?

Besides for rearranging the glass pieces, one is not actually changing the chemical formula of the glass. Much like grinding NaCl, the crystals get smaller but the chemical remains the same.


If chalk doesn't dissolve in water is it a chemical or physical change?

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.


Chalk reacts with hydrochloric acid when mixed Will pounding the chalk into powder increase the rate of reaction?

Yes, pounding chalk into powder will increase the rate of reaction with hydrochloric acid. This is because crushing the chalk into a powder increases its surface area, allowing more of it to come into contact with the hydrochloric acid and react.


When you hydrochloric acid and chalk together is it physical or chemical change?

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.


Is a chalk grinding a physical change?

It doesn't matter if something is reversible or irreversible. it will not depend if it is a chemical or physical change. A physical change is when the composition of a substance remains unaltered (the particles stay the same) and no new substance is produced. Such as when you make a paper plane out of paper, the appearance changed, the particles stayed the same, no new substance was created, and the paper remains paper. A chemical change is when the composition of a substance is altered and a new substance is produced. Such as when paper is burned, the new substance produced is the carbon and other gases from the fire, and the composition of the paper changes, slowly disappearing.It usually is unless you draw so rapidly that the heat of the friction heats the paper and causes it to smoke.


What kind change is grinding chalk into powder?

Grinding chalk really doesn't change the chalk except to make it into powder. So that makes it a physical change. It is much like ice melting into water.
