When matter is burned, a chemical reaction called combustion occurs. This releases energy in the form of heat and light, transforming the original matter into different chemical compounds like ashes, gases, and smoke. The burning process breaks down the molecular structure of the matter, resulting in a change in its physical and chemical properties.
Smoke is a collection of small particles and gases that are produced when a material is burned, so it does consist of matter.
Candles are made of matter, typically wax and a wick. When burned, the matter in the candle is converted into heat, light, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.
When coal is burned, matter is not destroyed, but rather transformed. The coal is oxidized and undergoes chemical reactions to produce heat, carbon dioxide, and other byproducts. The total mass of the matter remains the same before and after burning.
Organic matter that can be burned to create energy includes wood, crop residues, animal manure, and biomass such as algae or switchgrass. When burned, these materials release heat energy that can be harnessed for various applications like electricity generation or heating. This process is known as biomass combustion.
Energy is the ability to cause a change in matter.
it is a chemical change! (sexy right?;)
Flammability is a chemical property because the matter undergoes a chemical change (change in the make-up molecules) when it is burned.
gasoline is matter, it is burned to create energy

Fuel
When an object is burned, its matter undergoes a chemical reaction and is converted into different substances, such as ash, gases, and heat. This process is called combustion.
Yes, it is a chemical change.
Chemical change
Biomass.
That is a law, specifically the law of conservation of mass. This states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical change. This was proved in Lavosier's experiment where he determined that the total lass of the products formed by burning were equal to the mass of the matter burned and oxygen consumed.
Chemical change
Yes.
