OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

yeah I think your right

OpenStudy (rushwr):

That's right because during burning of coal u release nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM), mercury, and dozens of other substances. So that indeed is a chemical reaction. Rusting of iron is the formation of Fe2O3 that is also a chemical reaction. Tarnishing of silver means it has produced Ag2S so that is also a chemcial reaction.

OpenStudy (rushwr):

Well so evaporation of water means it goes from liquid state to the vapour. So that is a physical change. You're correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u help with a couple more ? @Rushwr

OpenStudy (rushwr):
