No, melting ice is a chemical change where as carving ice is physical....

Another example is chewing food is physical where as enzymes in your saliva breaking down the food is chemical.

Is the melting of ice a physical change or a chemical change?

The melting of ice is a physical change, a change from the solid phase to a liquid phase by adding heat energy. The water can be refrozen into ice again, because it is the same chemical compound, H2O.Melting does not change the chemical elements in the ice (water), only their molecular form.Frozen water turns to liquid water. It is still water, so melting would be a physical change.


How is melting sugar different from melting an ice cube?

Because melting sugar turns color to form caramel. i.e. it has changed and specifically it has undergone a CHEMICAL CHANGE (Or chemical reaction). When melting ice, no chemical reaction occurs, and so it is just a PHYSICAL CHANGE.


Is Change of state is chemical or physical property?

No, a change of state is not a chemical change, for it can be changed back to its original form and their is no change in the molecular composition of the substance. A chemical change is when it cannot be changed back. The above example is an example of a physical change. Example:- ice when heated changes into water and water when cooled changes into ice.


Can you explain the difference between physical changes and chemical changes?

Physical changes is change in property. Ex) change from solid to liquid....ice to water. Chemical change changes to different substances. Ex) rotting of fruit.


What are examples of physical chemical and nuclear change in the same matter?

Physical change: Water freezing into ice Chemical change: Water being broken down into hydrogen and hydroxide ions after the addition of a pure metal.

Is this statement true Ice being broken into small bits is an example of a chemically change?

No it is not, as the ice will still retain its chemical properties. This is an example of a physical change. Remember that the indicators of a chemical change are a change in colour, a change in odour, a change in temperature, the formation of a precipitate, or a gas being given off.


Is heaving of ground by ice formation a physical changes or chemical changes?

The heaving of ground due to ice formation is a physical change. This is because the molecules in the ice simply rearrange themselves as they freeze, without any chemical bonds being broken or formed.


Is ice melting ice a physical or chemical change?

Melting ice is a physical change. It involves a change in state from solid to liquid without altering the chemical composition of the ice.


Is melting of ice cream physical or chemical change?

The melting of ice cream is a physical change. It involves a phase change from solid to liquid, without any new substances being formed. The chemical composition of the ice cream remains the same before and after melting.


Is meal mealting ice a chemical or physical change?

Melting ice is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the water.


Is the melting of ice a chemical change or a physical change?

its both a chemical change and a physical change.


Is melting ice into water a chemical change?

No. It is a physical change. The chemical formula for water is H2O, and that is also the chemical formula for ice. So there is no chemical change taking place, only a change in the state of matter.

Is a ice pack a chemical change?

Nope - ice and water both have the same chemical formula. The only change is with temperature.


Is ice metling a chemical change?
