Fire is not a physical or chemical property. Fire is not a property. Fire is a chemical reaction where oxygen combines with some or all of the chemical components of the fuel, emitting light and heat.

Can one physical property of paper is that it will burn easily?

That is a chemical property. A physical property could be its mass, volume, density, physical state, or that it can tear easily. A physical property is one that does not change the chemical composition of the substance.


Is burns easily a chemical or physical property?

"Burns easily" is a physical property of a material because it describes how the substance reacts to a specific type of external stimuli (in this case, heat or fire). It is not an inherent part of the substance's chemical composition.


Is the tendency of a material to catch fire is a chemical property?

Yes, the tendency of a material to catch fire is a chemical property. It relates to the material's flammability, which describes how easily it can ignite and burn in the presence of an ignition source. This property depends on the chemical composition of the material and how it reacts with oxygen during combustion. Therefore, it is classified as a chemical property rather than a physical one.


Is flammability a physical or a chemical?

Flammability is considered to be a chemical and not a physical change. This based on the fact that combustion will take place which is a chemical reaction.


Is a liquid a chemical property or physical property?

If something is liquid, that's its physical state. Solid, liquid, and gas are the states of matter as they began in the modern era. This differentiates matter from the time when things were earth, air, fire or water, or a combination of them. Note also that we've added plasma and a couple of other physical properties to solids, liquids and gases.

Is the flammability of ethanol a chemical property or chemical property?

The flammability of ethanol is a physical property, as it describes how the substance behaves in the presence of an external factor (fire). It is not an inherent characteristic of ethanol's chemical structure.

Is an object's ability to burn a physical property?

An objects ability to burn is a chemical property. When you burn something you do not start the fire by changing its appearance so it is a chemical property. Anything that is a physical property is something that changes a substances appearance. A chemical property changes the actual substance.

When wood burns in a fireplace is mass lost?

No, mass is an innate property of matter, and matter can not be destroyed in a chemical reaction. Although after the fire the remains (ashes) weigh less than the original wood, the fire has also produced CO2, Carbon (soot/smoke) and H2O as gases and this is where the mass that was once part of the wood has gone.
