Explain why mixtures are examples of a physical change. Why aren’t they a chemical change? What separates a physical change from a chemical change?
Help Pleaseee!!

Answer:

This is a physical change because it's not permanent and no chemical reaction occurs. Mixtures - Mixing together materials where one is not soluble in the other is a physical change. Note the properties of a mixture may be different from its components.

Explanation:

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.

In a physical change, the molecules are rearranged while their actual composition remains same. In a chemical change, the molecular composition of a substance completely changes and a new substance is formed. Some example of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water....
