Answer

1. \( (P) \) <br />2. \( (C) \)<br />3. \( (C) \)<br />4. \( (P) \)

Explain

1. An ice cube melting and then evaporating is a physical change \( (P) \) because it involves a change in state (solid to liquid to gas) without altering the chemical composition of the water.<br />2. Mixing two chemicals and producing a gas is a chemical change \( (C) \) as it results in the formation of a new substance (gas).<br />3. A bicycle rusting is a chemical change \( (C) \) because rust (iron oxide) is a new substance formed from the reaction between iron and oxygen in the presence of water or moisture.<br />4. Crushing a solid to powder is a physical change \( (P) \) since the substance remains chemically the same, only its form has changed.
