Match the following to show changes. Identify each as a physical or chemical change. Column A Column B a)decomposition of i)a magnesium ribbon b)cutting a ii)old leaves c)blowing of iii)rubber band d)stretching of a iv)balloons e)souring of v)copper wire f)burning of vi)milk

a) The decomposition of old leaves is a chemical change because after rotting new substances are formed that have an entirely different compositions from that of the original substance. b) Cutting a copper wire is a physical change because the shape of the wire is changed here, the composition of the wire remains the same. c) The blowing of balloons is a physical change since the shape of the balloon changes and it is a reversible and temporary change. d) Stretching of a rubber band is a physical change when the stretching is removed the rubber band goes back to its original state. e) Souring of milk is a chemical change because when the milk is soured it becomes curd having an entirely different compositions from that of milk. f) Burning of a magnesium ribbon is a chemical change , after burning ash is formed which is a new substance. Ash is having entirely different composition from that of ribbon. This change is also permanent and irreversible.
