Question

Making a fruit salad with raw fruits. Classify the given statement as chemical or physical change.

Answer 1

Hint:Initially you must be aware what is physical change and what is chemical change. After having a brief knowledge you'll be able to judge the following by just checking which change is reversible or irreversible and which is permanent or temporary.

Complete answer:
Physical changes are changes affecting the shape of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are required to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but cannot usually be required to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds. This contrasts with the concept of chemical process during which the composition of a substance changes or one or more substances combine or hack to make new substances.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. These processes are called chemical reactions and, generally, aren't reversible except by further chemical reactions. The five conditions of chemical change: colour change, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odour change, natural process.Making a fruit salad, with raw fruits is considered as physical change because in this process chemical composition of fruits is not changed. It is simply changing the shape of the substance.

Note:Some examples of chemical change:Burning wood,Souring milk,Mixing acid and base,Digesting food,Cooking an egg,Heating sugar to form caramel.Some examples of physical change:Crushing a can,Melting an ice cube,Boiling water,Mixing sand and water,Breaking a glass,Dissolving sugar and water,Shredding paper.
