Question
Which of the following statement is false?Physical changes are always reversible and it is temporary.During physical change only the physical properties such as state, colour, shape etc undergo a change.Chemical changes are not always irreversible.In a chemical change one or more new substances are formed.None of the above.
Solution
The false statement is: "Physical changes are always reversible and it is temporary." This is not always true. While many physical changes are reversible, not all of them are. For example, paper that has been crumpled can be flattened again (reversible), but paper that has been burned cannot be returned to its original form (irreversible).
