Not exactly. When the trigger is pulled, a hammer strikes the back of the bullet with a lot of force. This force ignites the gunpowder within the shell of the bullet, propelling the bullet forward. From there, the bullet hits a target, and they die.

∙ 6y agoYes. When a gun is fired, gunpowder in the cartridge burns, producing rapidly expanding gasses. The gasses push the bullet out of the barrel. The burning of the gunpowder is the chemical change.

∙ 10y agoNo, it is a physical change because it can be reversible and no new substance is formed.
Another answer: I believe it to be a chemical change, but I cannot answer if it is reversible.

Is shooting off fireworks a physical change?
yes, shooting off fireworks is a chemical change because decomposition reactions occur and the nature of the initial chemicals is changed.
Are fireworks a chemical change or physical change?
Fireworks that are set off are a chemical change.
Fireworks exploding in the sky and giving off light are an example of a(n)?
chemical change
Why is setting off fireworks a chemical change?
In specific, fireworks aren't really a chemical change -not if it is not being shoo-ted into the air! You see, when exploded into the air, heated is added on it so when it is in the air, it will eventually explode turning it into ashes
Fireworks give off what energy?
They change into chemical to thermal!

In a firework show the fireworks explode giving off heat and light is this a chemical change why?
It is a chemical change because the chemical composition is changed during this reaction.
What are Americian fireworks used for?
shooting off to celebrate something.
When a rocket is launched is it physical chemical or nuclear change?
when fireworks go off, the energy released show a chemical reaction. gasses such as carbon dioxide and particles of smoke go up in the air.
Maria and Miquel were enjoying the fireworks when they got into a chemistry argument. Maria insisted that the fireworks were the result of a chemical reaction. Miguel disagreed. What would you tell th?
