Apple ripening is a chemical reactn

(new person answering)

It is a chemical reaction because when you think about it, an apples ripening only happens once; apple buds on a tree, goes yellow, goes green, goes red-ish, goes juicy red, is either eaten or falls off the tree, goes mouldy and shrivels up.

Hope this answer helped and was improved than the other answer! :)

A change in which substances change into new substances that is not reversible?

A chemical change. This involves the formation of new substances with different properties from the original substances. Unlike physical changes, chemical changes are typically not reversible by simple physical means.


Is a wax burning a reversible change?

Is making crisps from cooking oil and potatoes a reversible change or chemical reaction?

Most cooking processes are chemical reactions. Generally, the reactions are non reversible and once cooked, food cannot be returned to an uncooked state. So, frying potatoes causes a non reversible chemical reaction. The question is not as precise as it might be. Changes can be physical or chemical. They can also be reversible or non reversible but it is important to note that many chemical changes are reversible just as many physical changes are reversible.
