What is chemical reaction when strike match?
Oxidation reaction
What happens to a match to make it go black?
a chemical reaction (combustion reaction) the heat from the friction of the sand paper lights the match. the flame burns the chemicals and the oxygen in the air. whatever isn't burnt is left on the matchstick. this is mainly carbon (i think) whick is the black stuuf =]
What evidence of a chemical reaction might you see when burning a match?
Volatile compounds in the wood undergo combustion, or reaction with oxygen, forming H20 and CO2 gases. Because of the makeup of wood being mostly carbon-based compounds, this reaction leaves behind soot and charcoal.
Does a burnt match weigh the same as a live match?
Nope a burnt match weighs less. You've burnt off the igniter plus a portion of the wick.
Is a lit mach a chemical change?
Yes it is. A chemical change is one in which new products are formed.When you light a match, combustion occurs, meaning that CO2 and H2O are produced.Therefore it is a chemical change.
Would burning of matchstick be a chemical reaction?
yes it will be a chemical reaction..as the head of the match stick is being oxidized to burn. so here the oxidation reaction will take place.
What is chemical reaction when strike match?
Oxidation reaction
What evidence of chemical reaction would be seen when burning a match?
Burning is a chemical reaction (oxidation).
What are the starting materials in a chemical reaction-?
Reactants

Is striking a match to a Bunsen burner a chemical reaCTION?
Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.
What begins the chemical reaction of a safety match?
ikjhhmhj,kj,kj
What kind of reaction is when you light a match?
its a chemical reaction. in addition to heat and light, a new gaseous substances are formed
What is the chemical equation for lighting a match?
the balanced equation for the lighting of a match is: 16KCl3 + 3P4S3 --> 16 KCl + 9SO2 I'm pretty sure that's it:) this equation is wrong, you started off with phosphorous, but you did not have phosphorous in the result of the chemical reaction. Therefore, no such reaction can exist
