Does a chemical reaction take place when you strick a match?

No, its just a physical change******************2nd Opinion ******************Assuming strick means strike and the match actually lights, the answer is yes.


Ignition of matches a chemical or physical change?

The ignition of matches is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between the materials in the match head and the sulfur on the strike strip to produce heat and light. This reaction cannot be reversed to return the match to its original state.


Describe the energy transformations that happen hen you strike a match?

When you strike a match, first the energy is chemical because of the chemcial on the tip of the match. Then, it is mechanical because your hand moves. Then it is thermal because the match lights on fire.


What is the source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match?

The source of activation energy that ignites a strike-anywhere match is friction between the match head and the matchbox, which creates enough heat to ignite the match head. When you strike the match against the rough surface on the matchbox, the friction generates heat that is sufficient to initiate the chemical reaction in the match head, leading to ignition.


What energy is transfered when you light a match?

There is a very small amount of kinetic energy in striking the match, but mostly you are releasing chemical potential energy. The match head just requires an increase in temperature to make it burn


What evidence of chemical reaction would be seen when burning a match?

Burning is a chemical reaction (oxidation).


Why match burning a fast reaction?

the friction of the match causes the chemicals inside the match head to ignite...in cause as long as there is oxygen in the room the match will light as quick as you strike the match....in other words...the match only lights as fast as you can strike it


What kind of energy conversions take place in a match?

The thermal energy released when you strike a match comes from chemical energy of the substances that make up the match head. These substances go through a chemical reaction to give different new substances (products) with less energy (considered at the initial temperature), and thermal energy that flows to the surroundings (heat) at a lower temperature.


What is striking an match example of?

Striking a match is an example of an endothermic reaction. It is also an example of simple combustion and a chemical reaction.


What kind of energy does the stick of a match have?

The stick of a match contains chemical energy, which is released when the match is struck, causing a chemical reaction that produces heat and light.


Striking a match chemical or physical?

Physical properties of the match would include thing such as its state, colour, odour, density and solubility. Chemical changes in the match would be such things at its ability to burn and the chemical changes of when the match is lit and there becomes a flame. Hope this helps a bit :)


What is the chemical reaction of a match being burnt?

Rapid oxidation.
