Is burnt wood a chemical change?

Answer 1

it is a chemical change

Yes. Wood is composed of a number of complex chemical compounds, and cellulose is a principle one. Much of the material in wood is reduced to carbon dioxide and water, but there are a considerable number of combustion byproducts and also many products of incomplete combustion. But through burning, wood undergoes a chemical change to become ash and all the stuff that is carried away in the smoke stream. Heat, of course, is a byproduct. when the ashes are formed they can not be formed into a log or peice of wood
Yes, burning wood is a chemical change.

- A.Gibbs
Yes; the fire (combustion) is using oxygen in the air to release heat energy and carbon atoms in the wood. Wood is mostly made up of a gas called cellulose and the burning allows oxygen molecules to mix with the cellulose. This exerts various gases and the heating will obviously convert the wood to ash and scoot.
its chemical change
Yes, wood undergoes a chemical change when it is burned. For the most part it is a redox reaction.
Yes

Answer 2

Yes, burning wood is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction that changes the composition of the wood. The heat and oxygen trigger the wood to undergo combustion, resulting in the release of new substances such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash.

Answer 3

Burning wood is a chemical change because new substances, principally carbon dioxide and water, are produced.
Because when the wood burns, the wood and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water. This kind of reaction is called combustion.
Because when the wood burns, the wood and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water. This kind of reaction is called combustion.

Burning wood is a chemical change because burning is a chemical reaction: oxidation.
This is simply due to the fact that the molecules that make up the wood and oxygen are converted by a chemical reaction called combustion into carbon dioxide and water.
Because the volume ,mass ,color ,texture ,shape and the size of the wood has changed.
Cellulose, the primary component of wood, reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water vapor. The cellulose and O2 are gone, changes into new substances.

It is a chemical change because it burns and makes smoke which is steam..
Because it breaks down the elements and changes the shape and form but isnt exactly changed.

Answer 4

yes
Yes It Is, Wood Basically Is An Organic Combustion, When Burned Decompose In To CO2 & Carbon Mainly. Also CO And Other Oxides Are Produced.

All burnings are chemical reactions (oxidations).
Yes, burning wood is a chemical reaction.

Answer 5

No, cutting through wood is a physical change, because the chemical identity of the wood remains the same. It is still wood after you cut it.
No, it's a physical change. Chemically - it's still wood !

Answer 6

Yes Because you can not change back the burnt wood into its original place. In other words, you cant change the ashes of the log and glue them back together to make it the way it looked before.

Answer 7

The only way for ALL this energy to be released is for the kilogram of water to be totally annhilated. This process involves the complete destruction of matter, and occurs only when that matter meets an equal amount of antimatter ... a substance composed of mass with a negative charge. Antimatter does exist; it is observable as single subatomic particles in radioactive decay, and has been created in the laboratory. But it is rather short-lived (!), since it annihilates itself and an equal quantity of ordinary matter as soon as it encounters anything. For this reason, it has not yet been made in measurable quantities, so our kilogram of water can't be turned into energy by mixing it with 'antiwater'. At least, not yet.

Another phenomenon peculiar to small elementary particles like protons is that they combine. A single proton forms the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. Two protons are found in the nucleus of a helium atom. This is how the elements are formed ... all the way up to the heaviest naturally occuring substance, uranium, which has 92 protons in its nucleus.

It is possible to make two free protons (Hydrogen nuclei) come together to make the beginnings of a helium nucleus. This requires that the protons be hurled at each other at a very high speed. This process occurs in the sun, but can also be replicated on earth with lasers, magnets, or in the center of an atomic bomb. The process is called nuclear fusion.

What makes it interesting is that when the two protons are forced to combine, they don't need as much of their energy (or mass). Two protons stuck together have less mass than two single separate protons!

When the protons are forced together, this extra mass is released ... as energy! Typically this amounts to about 0.7% of the total mass, converted to an amount of energy predictable using the formula .

Elements heavier than iron are unstable. Some of them are very unstable! This means that their nuclei, composed of many positively charged protons, which want to repel from each other, are liable to fall apart at any moment! We call atoms like this radioactive.

Uranium, for example, is radioactive. Every second, many of the atoms in a chunk of uranium are falling apart. When this happens, the pieces, which are now new elements (with fewer protons) are LESS massive in total than the original uranium atoms. The extra mass disappears as energy ... again according to the formula ! This process is called nuclear fission.

Both these nuclear reactions release a small portion of the mass involved as energy. Large amounts of energy! You are probably more familiar with their uses. Nuclear fusion is what powers a modern nuclear warhead. Nuclear fission (less powerful) is what happens in an atomic bomb (like the ones used against Japan in WWII), or in a nuclear power plant.

Albert Einstein was able to see where an understanding of this formula would lead.

Answer 8

Burning wood releases carbon dioxide, other gases and fine particle pollution into the atmosphere. It is a chemical and a physical change, as the wood turns from solid wood to a powdery ash, and the gases trapped in the wood is released.

Answer 9

All burnings are chemical reactions (oxidations).

Answer 10

Yes
