CO2 (carbon) is the main product that results from burning paper. The paper is the reactant.
a chemical change
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
Because you can't put it back together. Imagine burning a piece of paper, there is no way that you can get that piece of paper back. Burning that piece of paper was a chemical change because you changed the chemical properties of the paper. Crumpling or cutting the paper doesn't change the molecular structure of the paper, so it is a physical change.
Burning of paper is an oxidation reaction.
Burning cotton smells like burning paper because it is extracted from plant same as the paper.Burning wool smells like burning hair because it is extracted from animals like sheep etc. and is actually the hair of the animal.
a chemical change
This is an oxidation reaction; carbon dioxide and water are released.
the paper will end up running out
When paper burns in a fire, the reactants are mostly carbon (the main substance in the paper) and oxygen(from the air).
because burning of paper is a chemical change while tearing of paper is a physical change
because burning of paper is a chemical change while tearing of paper is a physical change
Burning cotton will smell like burning paper because both cotton and paper come from plants and burning wool smells like burning hair because both wool and hair comes from animals.
Burning is a chemical change. When paper burns, various organic compounds within the paper react with oxygen in the air to make products. The products represent a new form of matter, which is a characteristic of a chemical change.
Burning is a chemical process, not a property.
Burning is an oxydation reaction.
Tearing the paper - cannot be reversed. Once torn - the paper can never be identical to the original. Burning paper - changes the bonds of the paper molecules.
the burning rate of paper actually depends on the type of paper because they all have different densitys which will affect the burning rate of each type paper.in conclusion there are different burning rates.
