Respuesta :

it does not change the chemical in the composition of water. hope it helps

Answer: It does not change the chemical composition of water.

Explanation:

A physical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

There is no change in chemical composition.

Example : melting of ice

[tex]H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(l)[/tex]

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions by breaking of old and making of new bonds.

Example: Oxidation of magnesium leads to formation of white magnesium oxide and is a chemical change.

[tex]2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO[/tex]
