Is striking a match exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic because the fire or spark created by striking the match is releasing energy
What role does rubbing the match head on a rough surface have in reaction involved in the burning of a match?
Rubbing the match head mixes together the two chemicals that make up the surface of the match head. Then they react with the air and cause an exothermic reaction.
What happens to a match to make it go black?
a chemical reaction (combustion reaction) the heat from the friction of the sand paper lights the match. the flame burns the chemicals and the oxygen in the air. whatever isn't burnt is left on the matchstick. this is mainly carbon (i think) whick is the black stuuf =]
What are the chemistry and physics of fire?
A fire requires three things, Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen.The fuel supplies the energy of combustion, and provides more heat (is exothermic) to keep the fire going.The oxygen is combined with the fuel and this is the exothermic reaction.The initial heat is supplied by some external source, such as a match, an electrical short circuit, a chemical reaction.
Example of exothermic reaction?
mixture of sodium and chlorine to produce sodium chloride (salt).CombustionCondensationThermite reactionsSetting of cement and concrete
Is lightning a match of an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
It is exothermic, since it evolves heat. ^^ according to my Chemistry teacher, it's exothermic and endothermic.
What is striking a match an example of?
Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.
Is striking a match exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic because the fire or spark created by striking the match is releasing energy
Is burning a match an endothermic or exothermic change?
Burning a match is an exothermic change because energy is being released.
Difference between endothermic and exothermic?
Endo draws heat from around it. Exo gives off heat. Example: Ice melting is a endothermic reaction. A match lighting is an exothermic reaction.An exothermic reaction releases heat to it's surroundings. The change in energy is negative. An example is combustion of natural gas.An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, so the temperature of the surroundings drops. The energy is positive. An example is melting ice cubes.
Is when a match burns heat is evolved an observation law or theory?
Burning (combustion) is a chemical reaction - oxidation; this reaction is exothermic. This is a law.
Is someone striking a match endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic because the fire or spark created by striking the match is releasing energy
What is striking an match example of?
Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.
What makes a match burn?
A match burns to produce fire. It burns because of the reaction between the sulfur in the match and the object it is striking.
What kind of reaction energy that requires energy in the form of heat?
Like baking a cake once you heat it, it becomes a new substance. With a chemical change you can never go back to what you had before. Also like a car rusting, a match being lite, and burning wood ( the new substance for wood is ash)
What role does rubbing the match head on a rough surface have in reaction involved in the burning of a match?
Rubbing the match head mixes together the two chemicals that make up the surface of the match head. Then they react with the air and cause an exothermic reaction.
When a match is struck and a flame is ignited where does the energy from the fire come from and where does it go?
Burning is an exothermic chemical reaction; heat is released in the atmosphere.
