Solution
Melting of candle wax on heating.
Explanation:
Melting of candle wax is a physical change, not a chemical reaction, because it only changes the state of the wax from solid to liquid without altering its chemical composition. No new chemical substances are formed, and the process can easily be reversed by cooling. In contrast, digestion, respiration, and burning all break down substances to create entirely new chemical products.

When a mixture of gases X and Y is compressed to 300 atm pressure and then passed over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide (heated to a temperature of 300°C), then an organic compound Z having the molecular formula CH4O is formed. X is a highly poisonous gas which is formed in appreciable amounts when a fuel burns in a limited supply of air; Y is a gas which can be made by the action of a dilute acid on an active metal; and Z is a liquid organic compound which can react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas.
