Antimony trisulfide and sulfur provide the fuel for the match, which is ignited by a combination of red phosphorus (on the matchbook) and potassium perchlorate (coating the match). When friction heats the red phosphorus, some becomes white phosphorus and reacts with the perchlorate. This is sufficient to ignite the trisulfide and sulfur.

When a safety match ignites and burns is it a physical or chemical change?
I have this same worksheet that has the following questions that I have to answer: Iron rusts. Sodium hydroxide dissolves in water. A safety match ignites and burns. A cube of ice melts to form a puddle of water. Icicles form at the edge of a rof. Water is heated and changed into steam. Milk goes sour. A chocolate bar melts in the sun. Acid on limestone produces carbon dioxide gas. Vinegar and baking soda react. A tea kettle beings to whistle. Wood and leaves rot to form humus. So, I believe that a safety match igniting and burning is a chemical change. I have many Wiki results from that, and some put physical change. I don't think it's a physical change because the fire is on the match, and once it blows out, it creates that black substace which ISN'T fire. It creates a new substance that wasn't there before. Basically, the red part of the match and the fire created that new substance. I hope this helped! Sorry if this is wrong info. *-*
What chemical change is it when Magnesium burns in air?
When magnesium burns in air, it undergoes a chemical change called combustion. During combustion, magnesium reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. This reaction releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and light.
Which physical and chemical change occur when LPG comes out of the cylinder and burns?
When LPG comes out of the cylinder, it changes from a liquid to a gas which is a physical change. When it burns, it undergoes a chemical change where it reacts with oxygen to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.

Is soot formed as a candle burns a chemical change?
Yes, soot formation when a candle burns is considered a chemical change. This is because the wax molecules in the candle undergo a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air, resulting in the formation of new substances like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and soot particles.
