Physical and Chemical Changes

Chemical
Changes
Baking a cake is a chemical change because the baking powder or
baking soda will undergo a chemical reaction. The heat helps
baking powder or soda produce tiny bubbles of gas which makes
the cake light and fluffy. That's why chemical reactions are involved
in baking a cake.
Physical
changes

because it involves change only in the
physical state of water, from ice in
the solid state to water in the liquid
state. Moreover, no new chemical
substance is formed in the process
and this change is reversible. ... Hence
melting of ice is a physical change.
