What are 5 examples of irreversible and reversible?

Irreversible examples: Burning a piece of paper, baking a cake, digesting food, rusting of iron, breaking a glass. Reversible examples: Melting ice into water, boiling water into steam, freezing water into ice, dissolving sugar in water, compressing a gas into a liquid.


Is boiling water to make steam a permanent change?

No, boiling water to make steam is a physical change, as it can be reversed by cooling the steam back into water. The water molecules remain the same substance throughout the process.


Is boiling water irreversible?

From a thermodynamics standpoint, it depends how the process is carried out. If the system (the water) and the surroundings remain close to equilibrium during the entire process then the water boils reversibly. So if the change in temperature is approximately zero throughout the process and the process takes an infinitely long amount of time to carry out you can reversibly boil water.If you were asking whether water vapor can turn back into liquid water, then yes the process of turning water into water vapor is reversible.


Why cooking food an irreversible change?

The definition of a chemical change is when one or more new substances have been made. Also chemical change cannot be reversed by simple physical means e.g. if the change was brought about by heating then cooling the product won't get you the original substances. So boiling water is not a chemical change (as you can re-condense the steam) whereas boiling an egg IS as the protein has been permanently changed (denatured).


Is wood reversible?

It depends on how you bend the wood. For example, if you steam it, it is reversible. But if you cut notches, it is not reversible.


Is bending wood reversible?

It depends on how you bend the wood. For example, if you steam it, it is reversible. But if you cut notches, it is not reversible.


Is a steam from a kettle reversible?

Yes, the process of steam forming from a kettle is reversible. Steam can be condensed back into liquid water by cooling it down. This change from gas to liquid is reversible and can happen repeatedly.


Is steam a irreversible change?

No it is not. It's a phase change. Ice = solid water. Water = liquid water. Steam = gas water.The change from one phase to another does not change the identity of the substance, simply it's form.It you were to boil a pot of water, and hold a lid or something above the pot, you'd notice that as the steam rises, it collects on the lid. This is condensation (gas to liquid), the reversal of boiling. The gas (steam) is cooled, changing to a liquid state.If you still don't understand, google "phase change" and you'll find something.


Why is steam hotter then boiling water?

because steam is boiling water is hot it turns into a gas therefore you get steam


Is water irreversible?

Nope. If you turn the heat off so the temperature drops below 100C, you will have non-boiling water. When the steam's temperature drops below the vaporization temperature it will return to liquid state.


A physical change creates a new substance and is not reversible?

Nearly, a physical change creates a substance and this is reversible. For example, ice-water. Water-steam. These are all reversible. A chemical change is irreversible. For example, baking a cake; you cannot get the original ingredients back again.


Does steam has highest latent heat than boiling water?

Boiling water has a lower latent heat than steam. Steam is the transition from liquid to gas for boiling water. If by boiling water you mean liquid water at the temperature of 100 degrees Celsius then yes, steam has a higher latent heat.
