Question: Determine if the following is an example of a chemical change or a physical change: Steam, or gaseous water, condensing into a liquid that gets collected onto the bathroom mirror when taking a hot shower.
The process you described is an example of a physical change. When steam, which is water in its gaseous form, condenses into liquid water on the bathroom mirror, the water molecules are undergoing a change in state from gas to liquid. However, the chemical composition of the water (H₂O) remains unchanged. Since there is no transformation of the substance into a different chemical, this process is a physical change.
