Solution:
If a matter goes under a physical change its appearance might change but the substance of matter does not change.
In a chemical change in a chemical change either one of the substance changes and comes with new properties.
CaCO_{3}\rightarrow CaO+CO_{2}
(a) It is a chemical change as new substances are formed.
(b) Calcium oxide when dissolved in water, forms a basic solution.

CaO + H_{2}O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_{2}
Carbon dioxide when dissolved in water, forms an acidic solution
CO_{2}+H_{2}O\rightarrow H_{2}CO_{3}
