The conversion of water into steam is an example of a physical change, where the state of the matter changes without changing its composition. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Examples of physical properties include melting, transition to a gas, change of strength, change of durability, changes to crystal form, textural change, shape, size, color, volume and density.
Correct Option: C

Burning coal requires oxygen to chemically react. The availability of oxygen is limited in the furnace by several factors such as the friction of the air against the coal. Blowing provides more oxygen to the flame and raises the temperature of the flame. Besides, it helps to prevent carbon dioxide from forming layer along with dust smoke so as to keep the supply of oxygen intact.
