What is decaying of leaves is it physical change or chemical change?

The decaying of leaves is a chemical change because it involves the breakdown of the organic compounds within the leaves by enzymes and microorganisms, leading to the formation of new substances such as carbon dioxide, water, and humus.


Is a Decay of fallen leaves a physical or chemical change?

chemical because the chloroplast have had the chlorophyll die off


Is the rotting of compost a chemical reaction?

Yes, the rotting of compost is a chemical reaction. It involves the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms through processes such as decomposition, fermentation, and oxidation, which result in the release of nutrients and the formation of humus.


Is burning a match a chemical change or physical 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. *-*

Wood and leaves rot to form humus physical or chemical?

The process of wood and leaves rotting to form humus is both a physical and chemical transformation. Physical processes such as fragmentation and decomposition break down the organic matter into smaller pieces. Chemical processes such as oxidation and microbial activity further decompose the organic matter, releasing nutrients and forming humic substances.

Formation of manure from leaves is a physical change?

Farmyard manure creates heat energy from decomposition of leaves. There is also physical change because the leaves' structure is broken down. The main factors for producing good manure are: water, which is already part of the manure; heat, which is generated by the decomposing leaves; and air, which is needed to aid the decomposition, because decomposition is a very slow form of "burning". Quite a high temperature can be generated in a manure heap or a compost heap.


Why rusting is a chemical change snd not a physical change?

rusting occurs when three factors meet at one point that is when oxygen, iron and humus(or u can say H2O) react then producing Fe2O3 WHICH LOOKS BROWN AS A RUST.
