Burning wood a physical or chemical?
Burning wood is a chemical reaction because combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.
Is oxidation-reduction the reaction that burning wood in a fireplace generate heat and light in the form of flames?
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
What are several ways that burning changes the nature of wood?
Burning is an oxidation (reaction with oxygen): wood is an organic material and easily burn. The final products are water, carbon dioxide and ash.
Why is wood burning chemical energy?
how chemical energy produce in firewood useful
When wood is burned heat ash and smoke are produced describe this reaction and explain what type of change is occurring?
The reaction of the wood burning is Oxidation as wood combines with air, the type of change that is occurring is a chemical change.
Burning wood a physical or chemical?

Is burning of wood an example of an oxidation reduction reaction?
Burning Wood is similiar to Volcanic Ash
Is oxidation-reduction the reaction that burning wood in a fireplace generate heat and light in the form of flames?
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
Why is wood burning an example of chemical energy?
During burning (oxidation) the heat of combustion is released.
Oxidation creates a change in the identity of burning wood through what change?
Yes, burning is a chemical change.
True or false the burning of wood is an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction?
True

Why does the size of a piece of wood effect how easily it catches fire?
Wood is essentially formed from organic materials; organic materials can react with oxygen by burning, releasing water and carbon dioxide. By oxidation iron is transformed in iron oxides bur without burning.
Is rusting an example of burning?
Fire is the oxidation of carbon in the form of wood or coal and is an exothermic reaction (releases heat). Rusting is the oxidation of iron which is also an exothermic reaction releasing small amounts of heat but to be considered burning it must be an intense heat. The reaction between oxygen and iron is too slow and releases its heat over too long a period of time but that is an interesting way to think about the reaction. That is similar to asking if H2O is a rusty H2 molecule.
