Unfortunately, it is not a physical/reversible change, as combustion causes chemicals to change their bonding. A simpler example than wood would be glucose (the same reaction as in respiration):
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
This reaction is not reversible.

∙ 9y agoNo, it is a chemical change. When wood burns new substances are formed, principally carbon dioxide and water. Another trait of physical changes is that they are reversible, like water being frozen into ice and then melted back to a liquid again. Burning/combustion is obviously not reversible, so burning wood is not a physical change.

∙ 7y agoNo, burning wood is a chemical change. The wood has been turned to coal or ashes by the process of combustion.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoIt is a chemical change, but it is not accurate to call it burning. When wood burns it forms carbon dioxide and water. The formation of charcoal is a type of decomposition.

Properties seen when one substance changes to another are known as?
there are two types of change. the first one is the physical change. the form or appearance of the substance is change but the chemical properties of the substance is not changed. example, water evaporates into the air, that is a physical change because from liquid, water changes into gas but it then comes back to water as rain. the other one is chemical change wherein the chemical properties of the substance is changed. example is burning of wood. wood is burned and turned into charcoal. the chemical properties of wood is different from the chemical properties of charcoal and charcoal is another substance.

Is the combustion of wood an example of a physical change?
Combustion (burning) is a chemical change.
Is a burning wood into ashes and smoke a physical or chemical change?
Burning wood is a chemical change - although, like most chemical changes it is accompanied by a physical change. Usually we reserve the term physical changes for things like erosion, melting, or evaporation where no change in composition occurs.
If you chop wood for a fire and then burn the wood you have made both physical and chemical changes.?
Yes, chopping is a physical change: the chemical composition of the molecules inside the wood remains the same. Burning causes the molecules in the wood to react with the air (mostly with the oxygen in the air), and the result is different compounds than before.

Heat, smoke, and charcoal.
