It is a chemical change.
No. It is a chemical change.
No, it is a chemical change. The metal oxide formed is a new substance.
No, it is a chemical change (conversion to iron oxide)
Burning magnesium oxide is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction where the magnesium oxide is converted to a new substance (magnesium oxide reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide). This process involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.
Rusting iron is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form iron oxide (rust). This process cannot be easily reversed by physical means.
A Chemical change as rust is iron oxide
The rusting of metal is a chemical change and not a physical change. This is because iron and water react to form a compound called iron oxide.
Rusting is a chemical change, as steel/iron turns into iron oxide.
Oxidizing mercury is a chemical change because it involves a rearrangement of atoms in the mercury molecules to form new compounds (such as mercury oxide). This results in a change in the chemical composition of the substance.
Just heating the metal would be a physical change, as you would only have a warmer iron III oxide. However, if the heat caused a reaction, it would then be a chemical change.
This is a chemical reaction; oxygen is released.
It is a chemical change, where a chemical such as oxygen or chlorine combines with a metal, forming an oxide or chloride of that metal.
