Question

identity the types of chages given below and state by giving reason wheTher they belong to physical or chemicam changes​

Answer 1

Research shows that students frequently use the term chemical change to describe changes in physical state. Freezing and boiling are considered to be examples of chemical reactions. This depends on their conception of substance. If students regard ice as a different substance from liquid water they are likely to classify the melting of ice as a chemical change. One study found that 80% of students considered a difference in colour between the reactant and product evidence of chemical change. Students can consider potassium permanganate (Condy's crystals) dissolving in water to be a chemical change because of the intense difference in colour. Melting and expansion on heating were also considered to be evidence of chemical change by some students.
