Which of the following are chemical or physical changes? and why?

a) Batteries power your ipod

b) Riding a bike: your muscles using food energy from eating cookies

c) making popcorn

d) changing the colour of your hair

e) a light bulb turning on

f) a seed germinating



Please help... =)Which of the following are chemical or physical changes? and why?a) Chemical --- recharging I think requires redox reactions (i.e. chemical processes)

b) Chemical --- you derive chemical energy from food thus it is chemical change.

c) Physical - change of state from kernel to 'inverted' kernel

d) Chemical - pigments in dye react with the molecules of your hair.

e) Physical (maybe) - it changes from no letting light out and luminesing?

f) Chemical and physical - the seed changes shape caused by the biochemical reactions during germination.



Hope that helps!
