Which of the following could result from a substance that undergoes a physical change?

A. Its chemical composition is altered.
B. It has an irreversible change.
C . It forms a new substance.
D. Its shape is altered

Respuesta :

Answer:

D.

Not A because: physical change refers to the change in the state of substance (solid-liquid-gas) so only the shape would be altered. The substance is still made of the same chemicals. If I boil water, the water is still H2O even if it's now a gas (water vapour) instead of a liquid.

Not B because: physical changes are not irreversible; by changing temperatures we can turn the substance back into its original shape.

Not C because: Since chemical composition of the substance doesn't change and nothing new is added into the substance as it changes shape, new substances will not be formed.
