What physical property of glass would help you to separate the broken glass from water?

Broken glass is a physical change because the glass does not undergo any chemical changes by being broken. The glass could be returned to its original shape through physical means (melt and reform it). Glass is mostly silicon oxides, and the chemical bonds between the silicon and oxygen (which comprise the bulk of common glass) are not affected by breaking the glass.

Why is Breaking of glass a physical change?
A physical change can be reversed, for it does not change what the object is made of. The glass, even when broken, is still glass. It can be put back into its original state (possibly through melting) because it never changed what it was made out of.
Diamonds are used to scratch glass chemical or physical change?
This is a physical change. There is nothing that changes the components of either the diamond or the glass when the diamond is used to scratch glass.
Is the bending of glass over a flame chemical or physical?
that depends. changing the shape of glass is physical but if its a glass that can be effected by heat then if can be chemical. i would say its both.
Why is bending a glass tube a physical change?
Cutting a glass tube is a physical change because the cut glass tube still has the same chemical composition as the uncut tube. Nothing has changed except the physical appearance of the glass tube.

Broken Glass
What the change when glass id broken?
It is a physical change.
Are broken pieces a chemical change?
No, it is a physical change as the identity of the substance remains the same. Broken glass is still glass.
Is breaking glass is a physical or chemical change?
Purely physical.
Is breaking glass a physical property?
Yes,because a force had to act on it
How do you separate a broken bottle from large sugar crystals?
Add water to the mixture, sugar will dissolve, glass will not. Filter the liquid (the broken glass will be the residue) and evaporate to filtrate to get sugar.
Is breaking glass a chemical reaction?
No, this is a physical reaction because no matter has exchanged etc. Instead, the lattice structure of the glass has been broken- which is simply physical. (Not even that sophisticated a physical change, as glass has no lattice structure.)
Is a broken glass of water on the floor a physical or chemical change?
If it is resting on the floor, there is no change at all.
What physical property is not shared by diamond and glass?
