Question

Is drying of clothes a physical change?

Answer 1

Physical change:

1. During a physical change, the arrangement of molecules changes, resulting in a state shift. There are no new molecules created, and the molecular composition remains unchanged.
2. When a physical change occurs, no energy changes happen and the changes are reversible and only last for a short period of time.
3. During the physical change, the substance's mass does not change. The only thing that gets added or taken away is energy.
4. Drying clothes is a physical change since only the state of water changes from liquid to vapor, with no changes in chemical makeup or formation of new products.

Therefore, drying of clothes is a physical change.
