Don't take only my word for it, but, i think it would be a chemical change because if you think about it you are inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Which would make it a chemical change, but I am not 100% positive.
It is a physical change because the change is reversible.
in a physical change, no new substance is formed. for example liquid water. You freeze it, it becomes ice. when you boil it, it evaporates into steam. HOWEVER. Steam, ice, or liquid, it is STILL water. You only form new substances in chemical changes: cooking/burning food, reacting chemicals etc. : )
The change of a liquid to a gas is a physical change because its chemical properties do not change. Molecules of the liquid are just moving farther apart, therefore turning into a gaseous state.
A Physical Change is a change in the form of either gas, liquid, or solid while a chemical change is a change that occurs in the molecule such as the the burning of methane: CH4+2O2-->CO2+2H2O. Indicators of a Chemical reaction are: Heat, Light, pH, Color, Smell, ect. While Physical will be like ice melting into water or water being boiled into steam.
Cool it!
No. Steam is water vapor. Steam is formed by boiling water, which is a physical change.
The change from liquid water to steam is a physical change in the state of matter. Evaporation is the term for a liquid becoming a gas.
The formation of steam is a physical change. The chemical composition of steam (water vapor), is H2O, and the chemical composition of liquid water is H2O, so there is no chemical change going from liquid to gas (vapor/steam). Thus, it is a physical change.
Yes, steam condensing on a mirror is a physical change. It involves the change of state from gas (steam) to liquid (water) without any chemical reaction taking place.
It is NOT smoke, it is steam. It is your warm breath freezing in the cold winter air.
it is a physical change. It's obvious becuase it is just a change of state
It is a physical change because the change is reversible.
The formation of steam from boiling water in a kettle is a physical change. It involves a phase change from liquid to gas without altering the chemical composition of the water molecules.
it is a chemical change
Physical change. The chemical formula of the steam still remains as H2O.
The changing of water to steam is a physical change because it is still water, but only in a different state. The steam can change back into water which is a reversible change. Chemicals changes cannot change back. They are permanent.
No, condensation of steam on a cold window is a physical change, not a chemical change. The water vapor in the steam undergoes a change in state from gas to liquid as it loses heat energy to the cold window, but the water molecules themselves remain unchanged.
