Which change is an example of change of state only?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Melting of ice

The direct answer is B: melting of ice. A change of state is a physical change in which the substance remains chemically the same but changes between solid, liquid, or gas. Ice is solid water. On receiving heat, its particles move more freely and the solid changes into liquid water, but the substance is still H₂O. Option B is correct because only the physical state changes. Option A, rusting of iron, is a chemical change: iron reacts with oxygen and moisture to form new iron compounds. Option C, souring of milk, is a chemical change because new substances and new tastes are produced. Option D, burning wood, is a chemical change because combustion forms ash and gases. Melting can usually be reversed by cooling, which is another useful clue, although reversibility alone is not the only test. Memory cue: ice, water, and steam are the same substance in different states.
