Best Answer

Mold on bread is a chemical change. There are actually two chemical changes going on here. Mold, a living organism, is consuming the sugar, water and minerals in the bread. Also, the bread is decomposing. These changes are irreversible, they release smelly gases, and they produce a small amount of heat. So yes, mold on bread IS a chemical change. (:

there are different equations for this question. this one was already there: glucose + oxygen another equation that I found out is: mould spores + food source + moisture = mould (eventual mold)

Technically yes; but everything is chemical in some way. Actually it's more like the germs and bacteria in the environment around and in the bread growing to toxic and visible proportions on it. This has to do with both the temperature of the bread - if it is kept appropriately cold or hot, then germs/bacteria are unable to thrive in it - and how long a time period the germs/bacteria have to accumulate. Nothing in the world is germ/bacteria free, but most substances have a low enough level of germs/bacteria that our immune systems can diffuse them without problem. It's only when we are careless with our food/drinks that too much of it builds up and can potentially make us sick.
