2. Define a physical and a chemical change. Give an example of each.
Answers
Answer:
Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds.
Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. ... An example of a chemical change is the reaction between sodium and water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.
