Water is a chemical (pretty much all matter is technically made of chemicals), so it can undergo chemical changes.

Ice itself is not particularly reactive, but if it is melted into water (physical change), it can be chemically changed in a number of ways.

These are some relatively common ones:

1. Water can be mixed with CO2 (Carbon dioxide) to form Carbonic Acid, something with a different chemical structure from water.

2. Water can undergo electrolysis to be split into its component elements, hydrogen and oxygen.

Is melting ice cream a physical change or a chemical change?

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it has the ability to go back to it's frozen form and be ice cream again. The chemical identity of it isn't changed.


Is ice cubes shrinking a physical or chemical change?

The melting of ice cubes is a physical change, not a chemical change. The change involves a phase transition from solid ice to liquid water without any changes in the chemical composition of the substance.


Is ice cream melting in a bowl a physical or chemical change?

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it has the ability to go back to it's frozen form and be ice cream again. The chemical identity of it isn't changed.


Ice melting physical or chemical?

It is a Physical Change. Melting it does not change what components/elements are found in snow. It is just a phase change from solid to liquid.


How tyo recgonize chemical and physical change?

think if it can be reversed. if it is easially reversed, it is most likely physical. ie. if you bake a cake, you cant make it go back to a batter, so it is a chemical change. if you freeze an ice cube, you can just melt it and it goes back to water, so its a physical change.


Why is water freezing into ice a physical change?

You can always undo a physical change by reversing the process. i.e. when you freeze water it turns into ice and when you heat the ice it turns back into water. Therefore it is a physical change.


Why use dry ice to make stage effect instead of water ice?

Dry ice goes through one change to make "fog", but water ice has to go through two changes to become a gas.You could use water ice to make fog, but it would have to go through the liquid phase before it evaporates or boils. But dry ice, instead of melting and evaporating, will go through what is called sublimation, which is the change of matter of solid to gas.


Is ice meeting into water a physical or chemical change?

it's physical change


Does dry ice go through a physical change or chemical change?

It is a physical change (phase change). Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide gas. At atmospheric pressure, liquid CO2 is unstable. So the frozen solid "sublimes" turning directly from a solid to a gas (absorbing heat from around it).


When milk spoils it smell bad is this a physical change or chemical change?

It is a chemical change because you cannot not make the smell go away, if you could it would be a physical change


What happens when a chemical change does not go through completion?

The chemical reaction is interrupted.


What is the difference between physical and chemical change give examples?

CHEMICAL CHANGE: Such change is a permanent change and substances go through such changes not only alter their outer shape but also change their composition. For example: conversion of milk into yoghurt is a chemical change PHYSICAL CHANGE: Such change is a temporary change and substances go through such changes alter their shape and volume only but composition remains same. For example: water changes into ice and ice melt to water is a physical change.
