Is watering your plants a chemical or physical change?

Question

I would like to know whether watering your plants is a chemical or physical change as well as a good website where i can reasearch that kind of stuff (if you got the info from a website).

Answer 1

physical, because then the water can evaporate

Answer 2

A chemical change cannot be reversed..when you water a plant, the water can be evapourated out of the soil...however, once the plant uses the water to grow, the process cannot be reversed...it is not possible to remove the water from the plant and make it shrink to the state it was in before the growth. Thus, before the plant grows, the change is physical but after it grows the change becomes chemical

Answer 3

Pouring the water on a plant is not a change at all. However, when the plant uses the water it is a chemical change becuase the water is broken down into oxygen and hydrogen by the plant in photosynthesis for the construction of glucose. If the water evaporates it is a physical change, because the water moleucle never changes, it is always water.

Answer 4

i think its a..i dont know..it could be physical.. but it might be chemical because the plant is soaking up the water and using it for other chemical changes..im sorry i dont have a website..

Answer 5

Physical - it doesn't become a chemical change until the plant absorbs it.

Answer 6

Chemical, because plant suck up the water and use it to carry out photosynthesis. And the photosynthesis is a chemical process.

Answer 7

watering plants is giving them fuel to survive. adding water to soil is neither.

Answer 8

physical change

Answer 9
