What energy takes place in a matchstick?
Initially the plain old match stick is heated by frictional forces as the match is struck. This heat ignited the compound on the match head with the required temperature of ignition is reached. The heat transfer process is conduction. The lit match emits heat energy by radiation. It also will produce heating of the air by conduction and convection.
What material can be ignited by friction?
Matches are lit by friction. These work as the match heads contain sulphur and oxidising agents, with the surface of it consisting of powdered silica. As the striking surface, usually on the side of the match box, is also made up of powdered silca the glass-on-glass reaction generates heat. This causes the red phosphorous in the match head to turn into white phosphorous vapour which spontaneously combusts and starts burning the wood of the match.
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.
Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when you light a match?
Chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy
How much energy is in a match head?
Technically its potential energy until it's lit, and then it depends on the match brand.
How look the flame of matchstick?
A matchstick is a small wooden stick or stiff paper coated with material that can be ignited by striking the match against a suitable surface. The match head usually contains phosphorus or phorphorus sesquisulfide.

What is the red bit on a match?
On a safety match (the kind you strike on a box) the red bit is primarily a compound called potassium chlorate. The strip on the box is red phosphorous. When you strike it on the box the two compounds create an explosive mixture which is then ignited by the heat and sparks produced by friction between the strip and the match head. Strike anywhere matches put the two compounds together on the match, the red is the phosphorous and the white tip is potassium chlorate. When you strike the match they mix and catch fire similar to striking a safety match on the box.
How do you supply energy to light a match?
Friction when the head of the match is rubbed against a course surface which in itself creates head whcih ignites the match
What role does rubbing the match head on a rough surface have in reaction involved in the burning of a match?
Rubbing the match head mixes together the two chemicals that make up the surface of the match head. Then they react with the air and cause an exothermic reaction.
