The simple act of drying a leaf (removing water) would not be a chemical change, but would represent a physical change. This is because if you were to re-hydrate the leaf, you should, in theory be able to make it the same as it was. However, the consequences of drying a leaf, i.e. what happens to various components of the leaf when water is removed, would represent a chemical change.

Yes, because A, you are adding an abiotic factor to the wood (heat), and B, it cannot be reversed, since it is impossible to revert the wood back into its original state.

No. It is a Physical Reaction. No chemical changes take place. Mainly the water/moisture contained in the woods gets evapourated.

Which of the following will result in a chemical change A melting ice to obtain water B evaporating alcohol into vapor C drying wood in a shed D burning coal in a furnace?

The answer is D ! (a) melting ice to obtain water - is changing waterfrom its solid form to liquid by heat. (b) evaporating alcohol into vapour - is changing alcohol from liquid to a gas. (c) drying wood in a shed - is simply allowing Amy moisture present in the wood to evaporate. In all three of these cases the original material remains chemically unchanged. in (d) burning coal in a furnace - the cellular structure of the wood is broken down by heat - the individual wood cells are destroyed, turning it from cellulose to carbon.

How do you prepare cattails for burning them?

I pick cattails leaving about 10 inch stem. Let dry in cardboard box in shed for about 1 month. Soak them in gasoline for about 10 minutes, then let dry outside for a few hours. Store again in plastic bag in a cardboard box in shed until you are ready to use them. Great for keeping bugs away, and give a cool effect.
