the balanced equation for the lighting of a match is: 16KCl3 + 3P4S3 --> 16 KCl + 9SO2
I'm pretty sure that's it:)
this equation is wrong, you started off with phosphorous, but you did not have phosphorous in the result of the chemical reaction. Therefore, no such reaction can exist

∙ 13y agoTo light a match take a lighter and a vat of gasoline soke the match in the gasoline then soke 3 days worth of newspaper in g gasoline then put the match on top and light the newspaper in the middle of a forest and bingo the match is on fire.
DO NOT ATTEMPT!!!!
by that random collage proffeser
OR
just use the match like u r

∙ 11y agoChemical. When you light a match, you are starting a chain reaction which accelerates the reaction of the substance on the match tip (and after that, the wood) with oxygen. This changes the substances CHEMICAL formula, making it aCHEMICAL change.
Physical changes happen when there's a physical change. Like ice melting. Ice is H2O before melting and H2O after melting. No chemical change there

∙ 12y agobecause when it lights up it forms an exothermic reaction (a reaction that gives off heat)
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, it is a chemical reaction.

Is lighting a match a chemical change?
yes lighting a match is a chemical change
Lighting a match a physical change or chemical change?
Lighting a match is a chemical change.
Is lighting your match a physical or chemical change?
Mainly chemical (oxidation).
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light The total amount of energy?

What processes is not a physical change drying wet clothescutting snowflakes out of paper lighting a match from a matchbox?
lighting a match from a matchbox is a chemical change.
How is lighting a match a chemical change?
The sulfur on the match catches fire from friction as it is struck on the matchbox.
Is lighting a match physical change?
This is a little tricky. Striking a match is a physical act, but it does induce chemical changes. It depends on exactly what you mean by "lighting", ultimately. The end result is definitely a chemical change.
In the chemical reaction that takes place in the lighting of a match activation energy is supplied by?
friction
Is the ignition of matches a chemical change?
Lighting a match starts a chain reaction which boosts the materials of the match tip, the wood with oxygen. These process changes the substance chemical formula, thus chemical change happens.
What process is not a physical change drying wet cloths cutting snowflakes out of paper lighting a match from a matchbook?
Ignition of a match is a chemical process.
Is lighting of bulb reversible or irreversible change?
Is the lighting of a bulb a reversible or an irreversible change
Is lighting a match a reversible Chang?
it is a chemical change because there is gas that gets released and you cant get it back. !
