1. Something must have reacted with the glowing splint to make the pop; therefore, that must be a chemical change.
2. This probably is a physical change. Probably there is no reaction. (I say probably because a change in color does, at times, denote a chemical change. For example, iron(III) ion plus thiocyanate ion produces a blood red color due to the formation of the iron thiocyanate complex ion.)
