Initially mechanical energy is changed into heat energy. This heat energy brings out the hidden chemical energy into heat and light energy.
Lighting a match involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the match head into thermal energy and light energy through the process of combustion.
Lighting a match involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the match head into thermal energy due to the friction when striking it against the matchbox. This thermal energy then further ignites the match head, leading to the release of light energy in the form of a flame.
The total amount of energy remains constant, but it is transformed from chemical energy in the match head to thermal energy (heat) and electromagnetic energy (light) when the match is lit. This is an example of energy conservation in a closed system.
Chemical potential energy being converted to heat energy
Yes, lighting a match is a chemical change because the chemicals in the match head undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat from friction, resulting in the release of energy in the form of light and heat.

Yes, lighting a match is a chemical change because the chemicals in the match head undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to heat from friction, resulting in the release of energy in the form of light and heat.
The activation energy in the chemical reaction of lighting a match is supplied by the heat generated when the match is struck against the striking surface. This heat is enough to break the chemical bonds in the match head, leading to combustion and the release of energy in the form of light and heat.
When lighting a match stick, the chemical energy stored in the match head is converted to thermal energy through the process of combustion. This thermal energy produced causes the ignition of the match stick, releasing light and heat energy in the form of a flame.
The energy transformation involved in striking and lighting a match is primarily chemical to thermal energy. When the match is struck, friction creates heat, causing the chemicals in the match head to react and produce a flame, which is a release of thermal energy.
Potential energy, released when the match is struck.
Energy efficient lighting can be purchased in most DIY stores as an alternative to normal lighting fixtures. You can also purchase them online but please check your fitting to ensure it is a match for your light fixture and be aware that energy efficient lighting may be bigger than normal lighting purchases.
When a matchstick is struck, the friction creates waste energy in the form of heat and sound. This waste energy is not used for the intended purpose of lighting the match and is lost to the surroundings.
