What is a chemical change?

A chemical change is a change in which a substance turns into a completely different substance that can't be reversed. A chemical change often happens when a substance burns (not to be confused with evaporation or melting of a substance), changes colors, a substance spoils or rusts, photosynthesis or respiration, and/or a substance tarnishes.Some examples are a bike rusting, burning bread to make toast, fireworks exploding, milk spoiling, a leaf changing color, mixing eggs and flour for a batter, baking a cake, etc.A chemical change will NOT dissolve, go through a state of matter (sublimation, decomposition, melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation), breaking or tearing of a substance, and/or anything that can be reversed back.A chemical change is one in which one or more new substances are formed. Simple examples include burning and rusting.

because the leaf is non polar or Because the leaf is coated in lipid molecules


Is a leaf a tissue or an organ?

Yes, the leaf is considered a plant organ.


What would be the conclusion after testing a leaf for starch?

Starch is produced by leaves during Photosynthesis, therefore if the leaf has not been exposed to light then it will not contain starch, and so when tested the Iodine will stay Yellow/Brown. Consequently if the leaf has been left in the light Photosynthesis will have taken place and when tested the Iodine will go Blue/Black showing that Starch is present. Hope this helps :)

Is crushing a leaf a chemical change?

Crushing a leaf is a physical change, not a chemical change because the chemical composition of the leaf remains the same before and after crushing. However, if the crushing process causes the leaf to release certain chemicals due to breaking of cell walls, then it can result in a chemical change.


Is a leaf chaning color a physical or chemical change?

Chemical. It has to do with the closing of the part that connects the leaf to the tree and the lack of nutrients causes the leaf to turn colours.


When does the color change in a leaf indicate physical change and when dos it indicate chemical change?

The color change in a leaf typically indicates a chemical change when it results from the breakdown of chlorophyll and the revealing of other pigments, such as carotenoids and anthocyanins, as the plant prepares for winter. This process involves biochemical reactions that alter the pigments present in the leaf. Conversely, a physical change may be indicated if the color change is due to external factors like exposure to light or temperature without altering the leaf's chemical composition.


Is a leaf turning brown a physical or chemical change?

Photosynthesis makes a leaf green so when it turns brown it has stopped doing photosynthesis so most likely it is chemical change. Helpful enough? :|
