Question 1 • Chemistry

Which of these is an example of a physical change?

Answer
A
liquid water turning into vapor
B
hydrogen burning in the air
C
a banana ripening in the air
D
zinc reacting with an acid

Explanation

A physical change alters a substance’s form or state without creating a different substance. When liquid water turns into vapor, it remains water (H₂O), so this is a physical change. Ripening, reacting with acid, and burning involve chemical changes that produce new substances.
