Answer 2

Answer: It releases oxygen and heat. The answer is C

Stored inside the match head is another chemical called “potassium chlorate”. When it gets hot, it releases a lot of extra oxygen and heat. This makes the match head burn quickly and strongly. When you put it all together the heat, the fuel, and the oxygen you get a flame. Matter does not go when something is set on fire. Matter is always the same. Burning is a chemical process. The flames are caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning). (CC BY-SA 2.5; Einar Helland Berger for fire and Walter Siegmund for ash).
