The process of heat changing water to steam is a physical change. During this transformation, water molecules gain energy and move from a liquid state to a gaseous state, but their chemical composition remains the same (H₂O). In a physical change, the substance alters its form or state without changing its chemical identity.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
No, water evaporating into steam is a physical change rather than a physical property. A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the substance's chemical composition, whereas a physical change is a change in the substance's state or appearance without altering its chemical structure.
The formation of steam is a physical change. The chemical composition of steam (water vapor), is H2O, and the chemical composition of liquid water is H2O, so there is no chemical change going from liquid to gas (vapor/steam). Thus, it is a physical change.
no. when water boils it is a physical change, because the actuall chemical structure is still H2O, it is just in the form of steam.
The formation of steam from boiling water in a kettle is a physical change. It involves a phase change from liquid to gas without altering the chemical composition of the water molecules.
The change of water to steam is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this case, the water molecules are simply changing phase from a liquid to a gas, but the chemical composition of water remains the same.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
physical only, you are only changing its state, not its composition.
It is a physical change because it's still a form of water just a different state.
No, condensation of steam on a cold window is a physical change, not a chemical change. The water vapor in the steam undergoes a change in state from gas to liquid as it loses heat energy to the cold window, but the water molecules themselves remain unchanged.
The changing of water to steam is a physical change because it is still water, but only in a different state. The steam can change back into water which is a reversible change. Chemicals changes cannot change back. They are permanent.
it is a chemical change
No. Steam is water vapor. Steam is formed by boiling water, which is a physical change.
chemical
The change of water to steam is a physical change, not a chemical change. In this case, the water molecules are simply gaining enough energy to break free from their liquid state and form a gas. No new substances are formed in this process.
It's a physical change because no new substances are formed, the molecules simply get further apart.
No, the bubbles in boiling water for noodles do not indicate a chemical change. The bubbles are formed due to the physical process of water reaching its boiling point and turning into steam bubbles. This is a physical change, as only the state of the water molecules is changing, not their chemical composition.
