What reaction happens when we ignite a match stick?
That depends on whether you are considering the work done to overcome the force of static friction between the match head and the striking paper. Other than that, as I understand it, after you have heated part of the chemical compound on the match head sufficiently so that it combusts, the heat it outputs then affects the chemicals in close proximity heating them to the point of combustion. I'm not sure you could consider that chemical reaction to be work done, but you could argue it outputs energy.
How does the match work?
you strike the match
What is the difference between clean sweep and white wash?
The "White Wash" is to win all the matches in the series. And "Clean Sweep" is to not let opposition to win any single match of the series which includes draw or/and tie match. Example : In the 5 match series "A" and "B" played 5 matches "A" won the series by 5-0, then it called "White Wash". And if "A" won the series by 3-0 which includes 1 draw and 1 tie match, then it called a "Clean Sweep".

Can you strike a safety match on glass?
Yes! Safety matches contain sulfur, an oxidizing agent, and powdered glass (along with wood and glue etc.) and the strike-on-box strip contains powdered glass or silica sand and red phosphorous (and glue etc.). The friction of the glass on the match head with the glass in the strip is enough to ignite the red phosphorous which does a whiz-bang reaction which lights the match. While striking on a window isn't as easy because it doesn't have the added phosphorous whiz-bang, it's still possible for the glass-on-glass friction to provide enough heat to light the match anyway. You can see it on youtube or try it yourself (just make sure to rub out the marks on the glass & keep things safe).
What is striking an match example of?
Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.
What are the energy transformations in striking a match?
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
Is striking a match exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic because the fire or spark created by striking the match is releasing energy

Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.
