Question

Formation of manure from leaves is a physical change. State whether the statement is True or False? Justify your answer.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Physical and Chemical change:

• Any change to a material or object that does not affect its chemical arrangement and does not result in the formation of a new substance. This is referred to as physical change.
• If the chemical composition is altered, that is called a chemical change.
• Manure is produced by the breakdown of leaves and serves as organic fertilizer for agricultural fields.
• The chemical makeup of substances is changed here. As a result, it is a chemical alteration rather than a physical change.

Thus, the statement above is incorrect since manure production from leaves involves a chemical change.
