Which of the following is a chemical change?
A
Conversion of water to ice
B
Rusting of iron
C
Crumpling a sheet of aluminum foil
D
Casting silver
Correct Answer: Rusting of iron
In rusting of iron, the oxidation state of iron changes, but in the conversion of water to ice, crumpling a sheet of aluminum foil and casting silver the chemical state remains same whereas the physical state changes. When iron is exposed to oxygen, iron oxide formation takes place.
