Answer 1

And old chesnut, [see here.](https://socratic.org/questions/is-the-dissolution-of-sodium-chloride-in-water-a-physical-or-chemical-change?source=search)

Explanation:

My own opinion is that it is clearly an example of chemical change. Anyway it is discussed in the thread. It is not a question that would be asked at A level, or even at 1st year university.
