In no way is what we have left after burning paper still paper. Burning something or doing something that changes the material is called a chemical change. Which of the following are examples of a chemical change? When looking through the choices, ask yourself, is what I end up with the same as what I started with? Also, the following are signs of a chemical change:1. transfer of energy2. change in color3. production of a gas4. formation of a precipitate, as solid that forms and settles out of a liquid

Frying an egg is a chemical change, it changes color.
Freezing water to form ice is not a chemical change; ice is just the solid form of water.
Lighting a match and mixing baking soda and vinegar are chemical changes.
Painting a wall is not a chemical change. It doesn't change the wall itself even though the color changed, the color is still the paint.
