You can light a match stick using another match stick, a lighter, or a candle. Simply expose the match head to the flame to ignite it.
A matchstick can burn without friction because the heat generated by the initial friction of striking the match head is enough to ignite the matchstick. The heat causes the matchstick to react with the oxygen in the air, which initiates the combustion process and allows the matchstick to continue burning.
Yes, of course.
The matchstick burns when rubbed on the side of the matchbox due to the friction generated between the match head and the rough surface. This friction produces enough heat to ignite the chemicals in the match head, which typically contain an oxidizing agent and a combustible substance. The ignition starts a combustion reaction, resulting in the flame. The side of the matchbox is coated with a material that facilitates this reaction, enhancing the match's ability to ignite easily.
yes it is because its turning into a new substance
A matchstick can ignite petrol, but it's not as straightforward as simply lighting a match next to it. Petrol needs to be in a vapor form for ignition, and if the conditions are right—such as the petrol being in an open container or properly vaporized—then a matchstick can certainly cause it to catch fire. However, doing so is extremely dangerous and poses a significant risk of explosion or fire. Always exercise caution when handling flammable substances.
hold the match stick so its horizontal or upside down. That will only make it burn longer not "forever" no match will burn forever.

A match stick typically contains potential energy in the form of chemical energy stored in the match head and the striking surface. When the match is struck, this potential energy is converted into thermal energy and light as the match ignites and burns.
>>>MoonBecause there is no oxygen, fire needs air to burn.
Potassium chlorate is used in match heads to provide oxygen for the combustion of the match. When the match is struck, the potassium chlorate decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas, which helps ignite the match stick.
Burning time on a match will depend on how long the flint is at the end. An average match will burn for about 5 seconds.
The stick burn.
the match is smaller then the log.
The wood in a match can burn at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit).
Fire.
No, oxygen itself does not burn. Oxygen only supports and accelerates combustion when there is a fuel source present. So, while the match may burn more intensely in pure oxygen, the oxygen itself does not burn.
When the match head is struck against a rough surface, friction generates enough heat to ignite the phosphorus and sulfur mixture in the match head. This ignition creates a flame that then spreads to the wooden stick, which continues to burn as long as there is sufficient fuel (wood) and oxygen present.
