A Process 1 is a reversible, physical change while process 2 is an irreversible, physical change.

C,because- it is a chemical change. after baking we can break it into smaller particles but it won't form the same clay, with same properties again

IF WE SHARP A PENCIL IT IS A PHYSICAL IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE .SO,IF WE HEAT A POT IS PHYSICAL IRREVERSIBLE CHANGE. BUT IT COULD HAPPEN THAT THE COMPOSITION OF CLAY MIGHT CHANE BECAUSE OF HEATING AS THE MOLECULES STICK TO EACH OTHER

on heating, the clay pot doesn't turn into stone,right?it doesn't change composition once heated , it is still clay ! answer is "A"

A is correct because it just turns hard but it is still clay only.And also chemical change doesn't mean that it is irreversible,Chemical change means that the identity of the substance we started with is lost.Here the identity is not lost.So A is correct.

C because we can get clay back from a wet pot by smashing it,but once it heats up, it dries the clay and makes it stone hard.
