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).

IF solid dry ice slowly disappears completely is this a physical or chemical change?

The "disappearance" of dry ice is a physical change. What you refer to as disappearance is actually sublimation where the solid CO2 turns to a gas without going through the liquid phase. Dry is is solid CO2 and when it disappears it becomes gaseous CO2, so it is a physical change.

Is dry ice changing into theatrical smoke physical or chemical change?

Dry ice doesn't "turn into smoke". Dry ice causes moisture in the air to condense, forming fog. This is a purely physical, not chemical, change.


When you shower and your wet hair begins to dry is that a chemical change?

No, the drying of wet hair is a physical change, not a chemical change. The change in state from wet to dry is due to the evaporation of water and does not involve any chemical reactions altering the composition of the hair.
