It is a physical process; on the other hand dissociation in water is a chemical process.
Dissolving is a physical process.
Some common characteristics of physical changes are change in texture, change in shape, and change in state. There can also be a change in temperature and a change in color, but these are also common characteristics of chemical changes. A physical change does not change the composition of the original substance.
The dissolving of sugar in hot water is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of either the sugar or the water. The sugar molecules are merely dispersed throughout the water molecules.
A physical change refers to a change in the appearance or state of a substance without altering its chemical composition. Common examples include changes in shape, size, or state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) without forming new substances. Physical changes are often reversible.
Each chemical element has specific chemical and physical properties.

A physical change to an object is a change in properties not involving the chemical makeup. In other words, a physical change is any change you can make to an object without changing the actual substance. (I.e. state of matter, size, shape, color . . .etc.) A chemical change is a change that forms a new substance through a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction is often signaled by bubbling or fizzing, but the only real way to prove a chemical reaction is by coming up with a new substance. So physical changes leave you with the same substance (slightly altered in appearance/texture etc.), but chemical reactions give you a new substance.
Partly physical, partly chemical. Melted butter has different chemical properties than solid butter. The melting process, as with chocolate, is not reversible. Proteins in the butter can become denatured, and isomerization of lipids to trans fats occurs. Phase change is a common example of physical change, but chemical change also occurs in this case.
In a way it is both physical and chemical, because a chemical change is changing how the molecule is "built," while a physical change is the transformation from one form to the other. I would consider splitting water through electrolysis as a chemical change at first because physical change is keeping the build of a molecule the same while it's form changes. You could also say that the splitting itself occurs first, meaning chemical change first occurs. Physical change would the occur later because the points of physical forms change based on the atom or molecule. The time difference in which occurs first would be very hard to measure, down to nanoseconds, but according to common scientific sense chemical change would occur first. The true answer to this question would be that it is chemical change, because you wanted to know what the splitting part was. Hope this helps!
Physical. If a substance releases bubbles, it is converting some of its liquid into a gaseous state. The chemical properties do not change, only its present state. A most common physical change is that of watching ice melt in glass of water.
Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions. For example, the gradual dissolution of limestone by acidic rainwater is a common form of chemical weathering. Physical weathering, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition. An example is freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rocks to break apart over time.
Water is a common substance that undergoes both chemical and physical changes. Physical changes can include changes in state, such as melting or freezing, while chemical changes involve the formation of new substances through a chemical reaction, such as rusting or burning.
This would be defined as a physical change. In chemistry, this would be defined as anything from a change in mass or volume to a change in state (solid, liquid, gas). As long as the substance does not change in molecular structure, it is mostly a physical change. Common indicators of a chemical change is change in color, production of light, production of extensive heat, production of uncommon smells, or even bubbling.

Physical or mechanical weathering is caused by processes like frost wedging, root wedging, and abrasion, where physical forces break down rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, is caused by chemical reactions between rock minerals and substances in water or in the atmosphere, leading to the alteration or dissolution of the rock. Temperature changes, presence of water, oxygen, and acids are common factors that contribute to chemical weathering.
