Chemical changes are those in which the chemical composition of a substance changes during the process. But when steam turns into water or vice versa, only the physical state of the substance undergoes a change but the chemical composition remains same. Thus steam turning into water is a physical change.
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.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
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.
Physical change. The chemical formula of the steam still remains as H2O.
Because when the salt is dissolved, the chemical makeup of the crystal changes, making it a chemical change. However, you can evaporate the water, capture all the steam, cool the steam, and then you have the salt (original chemical makeup) and the water, making it a physical change.
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, 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.
No. Steam is water vapor. Steam is formed by boiling water, which is a physical change.
no, physical. The steam can return to water if cooled. Chemical changes are irreversible.
No. There is a phase change as the water is converted into steam, but no chemical reaction occurs. A chemical reaction is when elements or molecules recombine to form other substances. For example, mixing hydrochloric acid with magnesium produces magnesium chloride, and hydrogen gas is given off. Another chemical reaction is the simple oxidation (rusting) of iron, which forms iron oxide.
chemical
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.
Its a chemical reaction :]
Physical, steam is still H2O.
The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.
If the steam is being produced by boiling water the physical property is gas and the chemical properties are H2O.
