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.

Is carbon dioxide a physical or chemical property?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a chemical compound consisting of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is a chemical property because it describes the composition and arrangement of atoms in a substance. However, in terms of physical properties, carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas at standard temperature and pressure.

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.
