No, new substances are not formed in a physical change. A physical change is a change in the form or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
Breaking an ice cube into smaller pieces does not change its identity as ice; it is still made of the same substance, which is water in its solid state. The physical arrangement of the ice cube has changed, but its chemical composition remains the same.
Then the physical characteristic of a substance change, it is called a change in state. This most commonly occurs when a substance is heated or cooled. The states that substances are solid, liquid and gas. A common example would be water: ice (solid), water (liquid), and steam (gas).
Melting ice cream is a physical change because it has the ability to go back to it's frozen form and be ice cream again. The chemical identity of it isn't changed.
No, when water turns to ice, no new molecules are formed. The molecules in water rearrange themselves into a crystal lattice structure when they freeze, but the individual water molecules remain the same.
Yes, it is a chemical change.
4. decomposing of water explanation: a chemical change is when you chemically change a substance, and a new one is formed
A physical change involves a transformation in the state or appearance of matter without altering its chemical composition. Examples include melting ice into water or breaking a glass bottle.
Yes it physical change. physical change is a change that expressed as no new substance with new composition is formed. when water is changed in to ice there is no new substance with new composition formed.the only change is only water particles are compacted to form the solid ice.
The term for a process that does not change the identity of a substance is a physical change. This type of change alters the appearance or state of a substance without changing its chemical composition.
in a physical change, no new substance is formed. for example liquid water. You freeze it, it becomes ice. when you boil it, it evaporates into steam. HOWEVER. Steam, ice, or liquid, it is STILL water. You only form new substances in chemical changes: cooking/burning food, reacting chemicals etc. : )
When the dew point is below freezing, the liquid water may change directly into ice crystals.
Physical change. Example: ice melting into water. They're both H2O, so chemically speaking, no new substance is formed.

To calculate the grams of ice formed from 100 grams of steam, we need to consider the heat exchange involved in the phase changes. First, the steam needs to lose heat to condense into water, then cool further to freeze into ice. Given the specific heat capacities and enthalpies of fusion/vaporization of water, you can determine the final mass of ice formed.
