Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.21QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term chemistry has to be defined and how burning of wood related to chemistry has to be explained.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Chemistry:
Chemistry can be defined as the study of matter based on its chemical and physical properties, chemical and physical changes and energy changes.
Burning of wood is a chemical process. Wood is considered as matter. It has physical properties like size, shape, color. On burning, some energy is released and the wood is turned into ashes. It is a
