Question

Is Water Boiling At 100 Degrees Celsius a Physical Or Chemical Property?

Answer 1

Chemical property:

• A chemical property is a characteristic of a particular substance that can be observed in a chemical reaction.
• Flammability, toxicity, and chemical stability are some examples of chemical properties.

Physical property:

• A physical property is a measurable property whose values can describe the state of that physical system.
• Changes in the physical properties can describe the system's transitions between momentary states.
• The measurement of physical property can change the arrangement of matter in a sample but will not affect the molecule's structure.

Boiling water:

• Water boils at $100°\mathrm{C}$ and at this point, there will be a change of state from liquid gas.
• The volume occupied by the matters can change and no new substance is formed.
• That means when the water boils there will be only physical change no chemical changes occurs.
• Therefore, Water boiling is a physical property.
