The gas will explode in presence of oxygen! (and your match blown out, and hopefully you're not!)

D.T.T.A.H.Only if brought in contact with H2 gas WITHOUT ANY O2 it would distiguish through absence of oxygen, but in practice this is IMPOSSIBLE to do (oxygen being present all the time as long as your match is burning, how else would it burn? see?)

How a burning match stick produce sound when it dipped in water?

The burning match stick produces a sound because of the heat its flames are producing. The snuffing of the fire produces a tiny bit of steam, which make the hissing sound.


What kind of energy does the stick of a match have?

The stick of a match contains chemical energy, which is released when the match is struck, causing a chemical reaction that produces heat and light.


Why does a match stick light when rubbed on a rough surface?

When a match stick is rubbed on a rough surface, the friction creates heat. The heat then ignites the chemicals on the match head, specifically the phosphorus and sulfur, which undergo a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the air. This reaction produces a flame, causing the match stick to light.


Would burning of matchstick be a chemical reaction?

Yes, burning a matchstick is a chemical reaction because it involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. The reactants (matchstick and oxygen) are transformed into new substances (carbon dioxide, water vapor, and smoke).


What happens when a burning match stick is brought near to mouth of test tube in which metal has reacted with sulphuric acid?

When a burning match stick is brought near the mouth of a test tube in which a metal has reacted with sulfuric acid, a reaction may occur as any remaining gas in the test tube, such as hydrogen, could combust. This reaction can result in a small flame or a popping sound due to the ignition of the gas. It is important to handle this situation with caution to avoid any potential hazards.

Is wood burning a chemical reaction or a physical reaction?

The burning of a wooden stick is a chemical process.


What energy change occurs during burning a match stick?

The chemical potential energy stored in the matchstick is converted into thermal energy and light energy during burning. The heat released during the combustion reaction causes the matchstick to ignite and produce a flame.


Is A match burns leaving only a charred stick of wood physical or chemical change?

The match burning and leaving a charred stick of wood is a chemical change. This is because the chemical composition of the wood is altered during the burning process, causing a new substance (char) to be formed.
