    Explanation
    When a marshmallow turns black when toasted too long in a campfire, it is undergoing a chemical change. The heat from the fire causes the sugars in the marshmallow to undergo a process called caramelization, which results in the darkening of the marshmallow's color. This change is not reversible and involves the rearrangement of the molecules in the marshmallow, making it a chemical property.
