Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A change where the chemical properties of a substance change and a new substance is obtained is termed a chemical change. The burning of paper produces a new substance which is ash. The chemical properties of paper also change, and the paper cannot be retained in its original form. We cannot make the original paper from the ashes. So, burning of paper is a chemical change.
