Solution
∙ Melting of ice is a reversible physical change. ∙ Breaking of glass is an irreversible physical change. ∙ Tearing of paper is an irreversible physical change. ∙ Evaporation of water is a reversible physical change. ∙ Making lemonade is a physical change. ∙ Cutting fruits into small pieces is a physical change. ∙ During the burning of a candle: melting of wax is a physical change as no new substance is formed. ∙ Burning of paper is an irreversible chemical change. ∙ Boiling of rice is an irreversible chemical change. ∙ Rusting of iron is a chemical change that converts iron metal into a new substance known as rust. ∙ Baking cake from the batter involves the formation of a new substance. The composition of the batter is different from the composition of the baked cake. ∙ Burning an LPG stove is an irreversible chemical change. ∙ Burning of wick and wax nearby involves the formation of new substances such as carbon dioxide gas along with the production of heat and light, thus it is a chemical change. ∙ ‘1 ' represents the tearing of paper as its an irreversible physical change. ∙ ‘2’ represents boiling of rice as it is an irreversible chemical change. ∙ ‘3’ represents the burning of candle as it involves both physical and chemical change. ∙ Thus, option A is the right answer.
