A sheet of paper is torn in half Another sheet is burned A third sheet of paper is crumpled into a ball What kind of change has each sheet of paper undergone?

Well, isn't that interesting! The first sheet of paper underwent a physical change when it was torn in half. The second sheet experienced a chemical change when it was burned. And the third sheet went through a physical change when it was crumpled into a ball. Each sheet transformed in its own unique way, just like how every brushstroke creates a beautiful painting.

Is burning paper a physical change?

NO, it is a chemical change, because it cannot be reversed.No because it changes shape color Android more so its a physical changeBurning of paper is not a physical change. It is chemical change as ash is formed in the process which is new compound and oxides of carbon are also released during the process.

These changes are irreversible in nature.Yes because once you burn a piece of paper you just simply cannot turn it back to a blank sheet.

Is crumpling a sheet of paper a physical or chemical?

It's a physical change because it alters the physical state (size, amount, shape, etc) of the object. It is still chemically identical before and after the change, however the physical characteristics have been changed. A chemical change is one that alters the chemical composition of the item, for example the rust on a piece of iron is a chemical change because the new chemical composition is iron-oxide as opposed to iron.
