Changes of state, such as solid to liquid, or liquid to gas, are physical changes because no chemical reaction occurs. CO2 as a solid, a liquid, or a gas is still CO2. Generally, physical changes are easily reversed, so that if carbon dioxide is condensed from a gas to a liquid, it is easy to evaporate it back into a gas.

Is freezing carbon dioxide a chemical change or physical change?

Frozen carbon dioxide is still carbon dioxide, so it is a physical change.


Is combining carbon dioxide and water to make sugar a physical change?

Combining carbon dioxide and water is a chemical change, not a physical change, but it doesn't make sugar. Carbon dioxide and water makes carbonic acid. CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3-->H+ + HCO3-


What is the sublimation of carbon dioxide a chemical property or chemical change?

The sublimation of carbon dioxide is a physical change, not a chemical property or change. Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase, and it does not involve any change in the chemical composition of the substance.


When baking biscuits and other quick breads the baking powder reacts to release carbon dioxide bubbles the carbon dioxide bubble causes the dough to rise is this a physical or chemical change and why?

The reaction of baking powder to release carbon dioxide bubbles is a chemical change because it involves the formation of new substances (carbon dioxide gas) due to a chemical reaction. The carbon dioxide bubbles cause the dough to rise through physical expansion, but the underlying process of gas production is a chemical change.


Is dry ice turning into Carbon dioxide physical or chemical?

It is a physical change of state. CO2 solid (dry ice) is still CO2 as a gas.What does change is the physical heat content of the substance. By absorbing heat the physical state is changed from a solid at -109.3 degrees F to a gas at -109.3 degrees F. All the heat absorbed for the change of state is used by the molecules to expand in size (external energy), rather than to change in temperature. There is also a small amount of energy loss due to this change (entropy). Another calculation made is internal energy which is the internal molecular motive energy of the substance.

What is the physical change of carbon dioxide and snow disappears?

The physical change that is happening is called sublimation. Sublimation is when a solid (snow) directly turns into a gas (carbon dioxide) without passing through the liquid state.


Is freezing carbon dioxide to make dry ice a chemical change?

No, it's a physical change.


Is it physical or chemical change when acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas?

It is a chemical change.


Is a heating process onto carbon dioxide a chemical reaction or a physical reaction?

Heating carbon dioxide is a physical reaction because it does not change the chemical makeup of the substance, only its physical state. The heat energy causes the carbon dioxide molecules to vibrate more rapidly, increasing their kinetic energy and leading to a phase change from solid to gas.
