Solution
Both changes are physical changes since
- The change is – temporary
- It is a reversible change
(heating and cooling reverse the change)
heating of ice – turns it into the water,
cooling of water – turns it back into ice - No new products are formed since both ice and water are chemical – ‘H20’
- Properties of the original substance are not altered.
