the friction of the match causes the chemicals inside the match head to ignite...in cause as long as there is oxygen in the room the match will light as quick as you strike the match....in other words...the match only lights as fast as you can strike it
yes burning a match is an examle of very fast reaction
Burning is a chemical reaction (oxidation).
A burning match produces thermal energy, in the form of heat and light, due to the combustion reaction of the match head with oxygen in the air.
The energy that comes from burning a match is in the form of heat and light. The chemical reaction between the matchstick and oxygen releases energy in the form of a flame.
The energy transformation of a burning match is chemical energy being converted into thermal (heat) energy and light energy. The match ignites due to a chemical reaction between the match head and the oxygen in the air, releasing heat and light as byproducts.
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.
Striking a match initiates a chemical reacftion (burning). The proximity of the Bunsen burner has nothing to do with it.
Burning a match is not a phase change. A phase change refers to a physical change in the state of matter, such as melting, freezing, vaporization, or condensation. When a match burns, it undergoes a chemical change as the reactants (matchstick and oxygen) are transformed into new substances (carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash) through a combustion reaction. This chemical change involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, rather than a change in the state of matter.
Rubbing the match head on a rough surface creates friction, which generates heat. This heat is essential for initiating the reaction between the match head's chemicals (such as potassium chlorate and red phosphorus) and the sulfur present in the matchstick. This reaction leads to the match igniting and producing a flame.
Because burning is a a reaction with oxygen, an oxydation.
The observation that heat is evolved when a match burns is a phenomenon or observation. It can be explained by the theory of combustion, which describes the chemical reaction between the match and air that releases energy in the form of heat and light.
Burning is an oxydation reaction.
