Question 6 • GA-GSE Physical Science A
Dissolving salt or sugar in water is a physical change because the substances’ identities do not change. Heating the salt solution in Investigation A, Step 2, removes the water and leaves the same salt behind, so that is also a physical change. In Investigation B, Step 2, the sugar turns brown as it is heated, showing that a chemical change has occurred. Thus the only chemical change is Investigation B, Step 2.
