 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

Physical Change: It is a type of change in which matter changes its physical state like shape, size but is not transformed into another substance. It is usually a reversible process.

Chemical Change: It is a type of change in which the rearrangement of atoms of one or more than one substance is involved.  and it changes its chemical composition that is there is a formation of at least one new substance. It is usually an irreversible process.

Now, keeping in mind the definitions, we can easily classify the examples in the question as physical or chemical change.

Listening to music on your headphones converts what energy to what energy
zysi [14]

I think it converts electrical energy to sound energy because, say if you're listening to music on your phone but, with the speaker on. The speaker of the phone on the other end changes the electrical energy/ electromagnetic waves back into sound energy. I believe the same goes with headphones
