Read the following statements :
Step 1 : A few spoons of sugar are dissolved in water to prepare a concentrated sugar syrup.
Step 2 : The sugar syrup is heated on low flame till it caramelizes.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: A
Step 1 is a physical change and Step 2 is a chemical change.
Dissolving sugar in water is a physical change: no new substance forms, and the sugar can be recovered by evaporating the water.
Caramelization is a chemical change: heating breaks down the sugar into new substances with a different colour, smell and taste, and the change cannot be reversed. That rules out the options calling both steps the same kind of change, and the option that reverses them.
