yes burning a match is an examle of very fast reaction


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.

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.


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.


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.


Is lightning a match physical or chemical?
