What are irreversible changes?
Irreversible changes are permanent changes that cannot be undone.
Give another name for irreversible changes.
Chemical changes
Why we call them chemical changes?
An irreversible change starts with one material and end up with one or more new ones.
In an irreversible change, new materials are always formed.
The new material is completely different from the original material.
Sometimes these new materials are useful to us
Examples of irreversible changes
Following are some of the irreversible changes examples.
Cooking or baking food
Example – You cannot change a cake back into its ingredients.

Frying or heating
Example – When you heat a raw egg to make a cooked egg, the fried egg cannot be changed back to a raw egg again.

Mixing substances (Making Carbon dioxide)
Example (1) – When vinegar and bicarbonate of soda are mixed, the mixture changes and lots of bubbles of carbon dioxide are made. These bubbles, and the liquidmixture left behind, cannot be turned back into vinegar and bicarbonate of soda again.

Example (2) – If you mix cement powder, sand and water and leave the mixture to stand, it will set hard. A new substance mortar is formed.

Example (3) – If water is added to plaster of Paris powder and the mixture is then allowed to stand, it sets hard. A new substance has been formed.
Rusting
Example – If you leave a piece of iron outside, before long it turns brown and crumbly. This rust is a completely new substance. You cannot easily turn it back into the iron you started with.

Some Rusted Things
Burning
Example – When you burn a piece of paper, first the paper changes colour then it bursts into flame and gives off a lot of heat and smoke. Soon it ends up as black
Answer:
Heating, burning, mixing, powdering are few processes which cause irreversible changes. A common observable example is the cooking of raw egg which can't be converted back to its original form. Ash obtained by the combustion of paper or any other substances is another example.
