The process by which food substances are chemically changed into simpler forms that can be absorbed is called digestion. This process involves the breakdown of complex molecules into smaller molecules that can be transported and utilized by the body for energy and nutrition.
Ripping up a paper is a physical change because the paper remains the same chemically before and after the tearing. No new substances are formed during the tearing process.
Paper is a substance, as it is made up of cellulose fibers derived from plant material that are chemically bonded together during the manufacturing process. It is not a combination of different materials like a mixture would be.
It's a physical change because it alters the physical state (size, amount, shape, etc) of the object. It is still chemically identical before and after the change, however the physical characteristics have been changed. A chemical change is one that alters the chemical composition of the item, for example the rust on a piece of iron is a chemical change because the new chemical composition is iron-oxide as opposed to iron.
Chemical reactions are reversible if you apply enough energy, and use the right technique, but even then, information is going to be lost. Here is an example. If you burn a book, the book is converted into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a small amount of ash. New paper can be made from the carbon dioxide and water vapor if those chemicals are absorbed by growing trees, which are then converted into paper. But the words that were printed on the original book are not going to appear on the new paper. You can print them again, if you wish, but only if that information has been saved separately. The combustion products no longer have the information that was in the book.
Ash and smoke.
It is a physical change.
Physically or chemically.
Tearing paper is a simple physical change; you are taking a whole and dividing it without changing its chemical composition. Burning paper is a chemical change; the paper chemically reacts with oxygen in the air in the presence of heat; oxidation.
Dalton
starches
M9 Paper
The chemical composition was changed during frying.
The physical shape of the paper changes, but chemically the paper is still the same because nothing was added or taken away from the paper.
they disolve :)
Paper is a compound because it is made up of two or more components that form a molecule chemically. A mixture refers to different elements being mixed together physically not chemically.
it may be a catalyst, a spectator ion a solvent.
