Samuel adds a teaspoon of salt to a glass of water. he notices that the salt disappears. samuel takes a sip to discover that the water tastes salty. what kind of change has occurred?

The answer is physical change. This is a kind of change moving the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical arrangement. Physical changes are used to isolate combinations into their constituent compounds, but cannot typically be used to distinct compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds. When the salt dissolve in water it is a physical change. The chemical arrangement of the salt is not altered.
