Is disolving a chemical or physical change?

Answer 1

It's a physical property. Ex. if you dissolve some salt in a cup of water, you can get the salt back by boiling the water. A chemical property is what happens as a substance changes into a new one.

Answer 2

It is a chemical change because you cannot change it back to what it was before it was dissolved.

Answer 3

Dissolving is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the substance. The particles in the solute remain the same, but they spread out into the solvent.
