Is fire in a fireplace a physical or chemical property?

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.


Is a forset fire a chemical reaction?

Yes, a forest fire is a chemical reaction that involves the rapid oxidation of fuel (trees, plants) in the presence of oxygen. This reaction releases heat and light energy, along with various byproducts such as smoke and ash.


What is the name given to the chemical reaction that result in fire?

Fire(Burning) is a chemical change. Once you burn a log, you won't get the log back, that's how it's a chemical change. Also, Fire needs Oxygen (O2) to burn and stay alive but with too much Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it will die out.


What is the thing that not need fire for burn?

When we talk about "burning" it generally means a chemical reaction with oxygen from the air, which produces heat. Nuclear scientists and engineers also talk about "burning" or "burnup" of the nuclear fuel, in this case there is no fire or chemical reaction, so perhaps this is what you have in mind.


Is roasting a marshmallows physical or chemical change?

It depends on how long you roast it! If you simply allow it to warm up, it is still a marshmallow after roasting, so it is a physical change. If you like it crispy and burnt, it is a chemical change because it starts off white and then it eventually melts and turns brown. This browning is oxidation, a chemical process where some of the marshmallow's sugar is burnt and carbon dioxide is released into the air.

Is fire chemical or mechanical reaction?

Fire is a chemical reaction (oxydation).


How does heat make a marshmallow brown?

This is WHY we call it toast. It is browned bread!! Toast goes brown because of the Maillard reaction. Quote from the Related Link: "The Maillard reaction is a chemical reaction between an amino acid and a reducing sugar, usually requiring heat."


How does chemical reaction help fire?

Fire is the result of an oxidation reaction.


How is making a fire chemical reaction?

A chemical reaction is irreversible, while a physical change is reversible. Fire is a chemical reaction because you can't get back the products.

Is fire an atom?

no it is a chemical reaction!


What energy transformation takes place when roasting a marshmallow?

When roasting a marshmallow over a fire, chemical energy stored in the marshmallow is converted to thermal energy as the marshmallow heats up and starts to melt and brown. This is an example of energy transformation from chemical energy to thermal energy.


What is the chemical reacton that produces fire?

Fire is a violent reaction of oxydation.


How is fire a chemical energy?

Fire is a chemical reaction that involves the rapid oxidation of a material (such as wood or gas) with oxygen in the air. This process releases energy in the form of heat and light, making fire a form of chemical energy transformation.


Is a burning fire a chemical reaction?

yes it is its a combustion


What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?

Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
