Question

Which of the following is a chemical change?

• A. Melting of ice
• B. Baking a cake
• C. Cutting fruits
• D. Boiling of water

Answer 1

The correct option is B Baking a cake

Chemical changes always involve the formation of one or more new substances. While baking a cake, the dough gets transformed into a cake. Hence, baking of cake is a chemical change.

Cutting fruits is not a chemical change since no new substance is formed.

Melting of ice and boiling of water are examples of physical change in which no new substance is formed and only the state of water is changed.
