What evidence of chemical reaction would be seen when burning a match?
Burning is a chemical reaction (oxidation).
Is the burning of paper a spontaneous reaction?
If you hold a match to the paper, then yes, the reaction is spontaneous.
Is burning a match a phase change?
Is burning a phase change. Explain? Ans: No because, its a chemical reaction
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.
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.
Is when a match burns heat is evolved an observation law or theory?

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 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.
When a match is struck and a flame is ignited where does the energy from the fire come from and where does it go?
Burning is an exothermic chemical reaction; heat is released in the atmosphere.
How is burning iron a similar reaction to burning?
