Which of the following is not a chemical reaction'? (1) Burning of paper (2) Digestion of food (3) Conversion of water into steam (4) Burning of coal

1 Answer

Answer :

(3) Conversion of water into steam Explanation: The conversion of water into steam is an example of a physical change. where the state of the matter changes without changing its composition. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Examples of physical properties include melting, transition to a gas, change of strength, change of durability, changes to crystal form, textural change, shape, size, color, volume and density.
