Explanation / Answer

1. It is a physical change as the ice will melt due to temperature difference, water will be formed. No change of chemical formula involved, only physical state of substance is changed. Similarly some carbon dioxide which was earlier dissolved under High pressure in soda bottle, escapes out in gaseous phase, this is again a physical change from liquid to gas. No chemical change or formation of new products is seen
