Maria and Miquel were enjoying the fireworks when they got into a chemistry argument. Maria insisted that the fireworks were the result of a chemical reaction. Miguel disagreed. What would you tell them to solve this argument.

A) It is a change of state, solid to gas, due to the addition of energy.

B) It was a physical reaction since the fuse was lit and heat was produced.

C) The color changes and the release of energy indicate a chemical reaction.

D) It is an endothermic reaction because energy was added; therefore it is a chemical reaction

The correct answer is B i just did it on a test

Lorelei Gallagher · Answer 2

It is both a physical and chemical reaction, it uses the chemicals inside to combust and make color, but the fuse makes it explode in a physical reaction.
