What are the transformations of energy that take place when you strike a match and then light a candle?
When you strike a match, the mechanical energy from your hand is transformed into thermal energy from the friction, causing the match to ignite. Once the match ignites, the chemical potential energy stored in the match head is converted into thermal energy and light energy that starts the candle wick burning.
Reaction between potassium chlorate and red phosphorus takes place when you strike a match?
When you strike a match, the friction generates enough heat to ignite the red phosphorus on the match head. The red phosphorus then reacts with the potassium chlorate in the match head, which acts as an oxidizing agent, facilitating the combustion of the matchstick and allowing it to burn.
Where does the energy to strike the match come from in the first place?
The action of striking the match across a rough surface creates enough heat from friction - so that the chemicals spontaneously combust.
Does a chemical reaction take place when you strick a match?
Yes, when you strike a match, a chemical reaction occurs between the chemicals on the match head (usually phosphorus sulfide and potassium chlorate) and the chemicals on the striking surface (usually red phosphorus). This reaction generates heat, igniting the match head.

Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when light the match?
The mechanical energy used to strike a match is transformed first to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the particles in the match to release stored chemical energy, which is transformed to thermal energy and the electromagnetic energy you see as light.
