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.

Is steam turning to water a chemical or 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.


Do the bubbles in a pot of boiling water for noodles indicate chemical 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.


Is steam a chemical raection?

No. Steam is water vapor. Steam is formed by boiling water, which is a physical change.


When water turns into steam is it a chemical change?

no, physical. The steam can return to water if cooled. Chemical changes are irreversible.


Is boiling water turning into steam is that a chemical reaction?

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.


Is water is heated and changed to steam a physical change or chemical change?

When water changes to steam is it a chemical change?

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.


Of a kettle boils and water turns to steam is it a chemical or physical reaction?

Its a chemical reaction :]


Is a pan of water boils a chemical or physical change?

Physical, steam is still H2O.


Why liquid water changing into steam is a physical not a chemical change?

The steam when cooled changes back to liquid water. A chemical change is usually not so reversible.


What is the two physical properties of steam?

If the steam is being produced by boiling water the physical property is gas and the chemical properties are H2O.


Is steam from a kedal a physica l or chemical change?

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.
