Question

Which property altered during a chemical change is not altered during a physical change?

Answer 1

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition.

Answer 2

During physical changes, the composition od the original substance is not altered, but the properties of the original substance are altered. During a chemical change the composition od the original substance is not altered and the change is irreversible. Melting of butter and wax is an example of chemical changes.
