What reaction happens when we ignite a match stick?

That depends on whether you are considering the work done to overcome the force of static friction between the match head and the striking paper. Other than that, as I understand it, after you have heated part of the chemical compound on the match head sufficiently so that it combusts, the heat it outputs then affects the chemicals in close proximity heating them to the point of combustion. I'm not sure you could consider that chemical reaction to be work done, but you could argue it outputs energy.


What happens when you drop a match in a water bottle then put the top on the water bottle?

If the match is lit and the bottle is empty, the match will burn all the oxygen and then it will go out, since it requires oxygen to keep burning. If the bottle is full, you will have a wet match.

Does combustion occur when lighting a match in the air?

Oh, what a wonderful question! When you light a match in the air, you are indeed causing combustion to occur. The heat from striking the match ignites the chemicals on the match head, creating a small flame through a chemical reaction. It's like painting with fire on a canvas of air!


Why is the importance to convert temperature scales to another?

For most things it's not, but if someone is "talking" (writing, etc) in a scale unfamiliar to you it can be very confusing; and in scientific work you often must match temperatures in a process.

Why is work done in striking match?

When a match is struck, the friction between the match head and the striking surface produces heat, igniting the match head due to the heat-sensitive chemicals present. This process requires work to break the chemical bonds in the match head and generate enough heat for combustion to occur.
