The reason why A returned to its original color but B did not is because; A chemical change occurred in substance A, and a physical change occurred in substance B.

A chemical change results in a change in the "composition" of a substance. When the composition of the substance changes, the change is often irreversible.

A physical change does not alter the composition of a substance hence a physical change is easily reversible.

Since A did not return to its former color, it underwent a chemical change while B underwent a physical change since it returned to its former color.
