Baking of cakes:
▪ When you bake a cake, the ingredients
go through a chemical change. They
form new substances.
Ripening of fruits:
▪ When we expose a bunch of bananas to
the air, after a few hours, it slowly
changes its color and results in the
spoiling of bananas.
MATERIAL CHANGES: CHEMICAL CHANGES
▪ This is because the gas present in the air (O2) reacts with particles present in the
banana. When it is exposed for a long time, the substance breaks down into
new substance.
▪ When this happens, food may change color or have a bad smell.
