- CMaking of curd from milk
- DDissolving of sugar in water
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Dissolving of sugar in water
Explanation
A physical change alters a substance's state, shape or size without making a new substance, and it is usually reversible.
Dissolving sugar in water is physical: evaporating the water gives the sugar back. Silverware blackening (silver sulphide forms), a candle burning and milk turning into curd all make new substances, so they are chemical changes.
