Lighting a matchstick

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Change**: The change we are considering is "Lighting a matchstick." 2. **Understand the Process**: When a matchstick is lit, a chemical reaction occurs. The wood and chemicals in the matchstick react with oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, and combustion products (like ash and smoke). 3. **Determine Reversibility**: - Once the matchstick is lit, it burns and transforms into ash and gases. - The original matchstick cannot be restored from the ash and gases produced after burning. 4. **Conclusion**: Since the change involves a chemical reaction that produces new substances and cannot be reversed, we conclude that lighting a matchstick is a change that cannot be reversed. 5. **Final Answer**: No, lighting a matchstick is not reversible. ---
