Is pulverization of aspirin a physical or chemical change?

Answer 1

Physical change because the chemical state of the aspirin does not change, it is just crushed.

Answer 2

lol i hope i get this right or my science teacher will have my head, anyway i think it is a chemical reaction because if im right it can NOT be reversed.

hope i helped

Answer 3

To crush aspirin into dust will only cause a physical change.

Coincidentally, crushed up aspirin has many advantages over its pill form, as it can be used for more things, while still having the original affects of aspirin upon ingestion.

Answer 4

Having had an interesting discussion about your question, we would have to say it is a chemical change. The appearance of your body doesn't change, the aspirin is just masking symptoms that you may have.

Because of the chemicals used in aspirin it dilutes your blood, but after you stop taking it your blood thickens again, so it is not a permanent change.

So basically- we think its a chemical change.

Answer 5

Pulverization of aspirin is a physical change because it does not alter the chemical composition of the aspirin molecules. The process simply breaks down the solid aspirin into smaller particles without changing its chemical structure.

Answer 6

Physical change, because the chemical structure is not changed by crushing.

Answer 7

In this case, only a physical change.

Answer 8

chemical

Answer 9

physical change
