प्रश्न
When a candle burns, both physical and chemical changes take place. Identify these changes. Give another example of a familiar process in which both the chemical and physical changes take place.
उत्तर
- When a candle burns, the melting of wax is a physical change and the burning of the candle is a chemical change. When the wax melts, only its physical properties change.
- Hence, it is a physical change. When a candle burns, its chemical properties and composition change, the melted wax turns into carbon dioxide and other substances and it cannot be obtained in its original form.
- It is a chemical change. Hence, when a candle burns, both physical and chemical changes take place.
Example:
When coal is broken into pieces and burned, both physical and chemical changes occur. Breaking coal into pieces is a physical change. The properties of coal do not change in this. Burning of coal is a chemical change. Due to burning, the chemical properties of coal change and new substances are formed.
