Is water evaporating a chemical change?

Water evaporating is only a physical, not a chemical change because the water can be brought back easily to its original state where as burning a match is a chemical change.


Striking a match chemical or physical?

Physical properties of the match would include thing such as its state, colour, odour, density and solubility. Chemical changes in the match would be such things at its ability to burn and the chemical changes of when the match is lit and there becomes a flame. Hope this helps a bit :)


Is a match being lit a physical or chemical change?

A burning match is a chemical change. Burning anything is a chemical change because it forms a new substance. A physical change just alters the shape or appearance of a substance. For example, burning wood turns it into ash, a new substance, so its a chemical change. Cutting a piece of wood in half changes how it looks, but its still the same substance as before, just separated into two pieces. There are three common types of evidence of a chemical change. 1. A change in color due to a reaction with another substance. The match is reacting with fire and oxygen. 2. The production of a gas. the match gives off a smoke. 3. Formation of a precipitate or a solid that forms and saparates from a liquid mixture. burning a match does not form a precipitate, but adding acid to milk causes the proteins in the milk to undergo a chemical change that alters their structure, so they clump together. * A burning match is an example of a chemical reaction in progress. When the matchstick burns, oxygen from the air is used, mainly to form water vapor and carbon dioxide. The smoke that is generated, is a complex mixture of gases and small particles from the matchstick.

Is a burning match a example of physical energy into chemical energy?

There are many energy changes which take place when burning a match. First, kinetic or movement energy is used to scrape the match. Then, the chemical energy stored in the match becomes heat energy of the flame. I am not familiar with your use of the term physical energy, but if by this you mean kinetic energy then yes this would be an example of physical energy into chemical energy.
