Burning of the candle is both physical and chemical change.burning of the candle causes the candle to melt the wax.so the wax has changed it was solid now it is liquid.the wax combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide,heat and light.thus both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.

A chemical change because the candle is burning and giving off heat. Once you burn a candle you can’t reverse it, which makes it a chemical change.

Afina-wow [57]
The answer is all of them. But in a school situation, A would be appropriate. This is because the smoke gets into the smokers lungs, whether it be marijuana or tobacco, and can cause cancer cells to grow in your lungs and enter your bloodstream.
So A is the answer.

Why is it that the decomposition of nitroglycerin can result in so
patriot [66]

Answer:

with the molecular formula C3H5(ONO2)3, has a high nitrogen content (18.5 percent) and contains sufficient oxygen atoms to oxidize the carbon and hydrogen atoms while nitrogen is being liberated, so that it is one of the most powerful explosives known.

Explanation:

NTG reduces preload via venous dilation, and achieves modest afterload reduction via arterial dilation. These effects result in decreased myocardial oxygen demand. In addition, NTG induces coronary vasodilation, thereby increasing oxygen delivery.

An unused flashbulb contains magnesium and oxygen. After use, the contents are changed to magnesium oxide but the total mass doe
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: Law of conservation of mass explains these observations.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products formed must be equal to the mass of reactants taken.

In order to get the same mass on both sides, the atoms of each element must be balanced on both sides of the chemical equation.

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

Mass of reactants= mass of Mg+ mass of O_2  = 48 g + 32 g = 80 g

Mass of products = mass of MgO = 80 g

Thus mass of reactants is equal to mass of products, thus law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

What will happen if the Sun just disappeared?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

With no sunlight, photosynthesis would stop, but that would only kill some of the plants—there are some larger trees that can survive for decades without it. Within a few days, however, the temperatures would begin to drop, and any humans left on the planet's surface would die soon after.
