Yes dissolving salt in water is a physical change. The chemical structure was not changed, no chemical reaction took place, no precipitate formed and so on.
The best way to tell the difference between a chemical and physical change is the ability to change the substances back to the way they were.
Salt can be removed from water through evaporation of the water leaving both substances chemically the same before the salt was added.
However there is some debate upon this. Just go with whatever your teacher says.
When you add salt to water it is a physical change because you can reverse it.
Yes, because whenever you DISSOLVE something, it is a physical change
Yup,its a physical change because we can get back salt by heating the solution water will vapourise and salt will leve out being volatile in nature
Dissolution is considered a chemical process: see the link in the Wikipedia.

A plate dropping and shattering is a physical change. It is not a chemical change, as the material used in making the plate doesn't change.
no rusting iron is not a physical change it is a chemical change
Because making gravy merely involves dissolving the powder in water, it is classified as a physical change. This is due to the fact that neither the powder, nor the water are undergoing and change in chemical properties.
It is a physical change because the reaction can easily be reversed and no heat is involved.
There are some chemical aspects:base is made from flour and yeast,so the reaction between them is a chemical change.The cooking of the pizza is also a chemical reaction, because it cannot be undone.There are also some physical aspects, e.g.Making the doughgrating the cheesemelting the cheese

Physical. It is a mixture of salt and water. No chemical change has taken place.
Making salt water to gargle for a sore throat is not a chemical change. This is because the salt can be extracted from the water.

ACTUALLY, its both. Salt water has iodine content, so if our throat lacked iodine we use it, at the same time it we also gargle it if we catch cold, because it decomposes the blockage in the nostrils and prevents further infections in throat...
making lemonade is a physical change i believe
Making Kool-aid is a physical change.
No it is a physical change.
