Is A Teared Paper Chemical Change And Inreversable Change And Is Opening And Closing Cupboard A Reversable And Physical Change


Q)Is tearing a paper a chemical change and an irreversible change? Is opening and closing of a cupboard a reversable and a physical change?

Answer: 

Physical changes are reversible and there are no new chemical substances formed in a  physical change. Whereas chemical changes are irreversible changes and new chemical substances are formed during chemical changes.

Tearing a paper is NOT a chemical change and NOT an irreversible change?

Tearing a paper is a physical change as no new substances are formed and is reversible. Torn paper can be put back together using a cello tape.
