Burning wood a physical or chemical?
Burning wood is a chemical reaction because combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.
Why a piece of wood is the example of the chemical reaction?
A piece of wood by itself is not an example of a chemical reaction. However, when the wood is burned, it chemically combines with oxygen in the air, producing mostly water and carbon dioxide. Because new chemical substances are created in this combustion reaction, the burning of wood is a good example of a chemical reaction.
What is it called when carbon is released from a campfire?
It is termed to be combustion. Or carbon emission. Burning wood releases the carbon that was stored in the wood.
Give one way that combustion and respiration are the same?
burning of fuel are the good example of combustion and respiration
Is oxidation-reduction the reaction that burning wood in a fireplace generate heat and light in the form of flames?
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
Is the combustion of wood an example of a physical change?
Combustion (burning) is a chemical change.
Why is wood burning an example of chemical energy?
During burning (oxidation) the heat of combustion is released.
Is burning a candle an example of combustion?
combustion is burning -_-
Burning wood a physical or chemical?
Burning wood is a chemical reaction because combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.
How can chimical energy be trancedformed into thermal energy?
Since the "law of conservation of energy" states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, all energy is never really destroyed only changed. Chemical energy is converted into thermal energy by certain chemical reactions, like combustion (when something is burned) or when fat is metabolized into heat for the body for example.
Is burning wood an example of an exergonic or endergonic reaction?
Yes, combustion is an example of an exergonic reaction. During combustion, energy is released- making it an exergonic reaction.
Why a piece of wood is the example of the chemical reaction?
A piece of wood by itself is not an example of a chemical reaction. However, when the wood is burned, it chemically combines with oxygen in the air, producing mostly water and carbon dioxide. Because new chemical substances are created in this combustion reaction, the burning of wood is a good example of a chemical reaction.
What is the burning of wood in a fireplace generates heat and light in the form of flames called?
combustion
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
What is it called when carbon is released from a campfire?
It is termed to be combustion. Or carbon emission. Burning wood releases the carbon that was stored in the wood.
Give one way that combustion and respiration are the same?
burning of fuel are the good example of combustion and respiration
Why do fires have smoke?
The composition of smoke depends on the nature of the burning fuel and the conditions of combustion, for example, when paper/wood is burned, the smoke you see is those volatile hydrocarbons evaporating from the wood. Combustion causes things within the fuel, or object being burned, to evaporate - this is smoke.
