What are examples of common everyday use of combustion reactions?
Gas stove and car engine x
What types of chemical reactions may result in the formation of water?
The most common example of such a reaction would be the combustion of hydrogen gas: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O Water is also produced in the combustion of hydrogen compounds (e.g. CH4, H2S), many acid-base reactions, and the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
What is a more common name for combustion?
Burning would probably do nicely Burn
What is the common product of a reaction between oxygen and a fuel?
When fuel is burned in oxygen, this is called combustion. Depending on the fuel used, the chemical reaction will be different. Taking propane gas, as an example: CH3CH2CH3 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O All combustion reactions of fuel will result in CO2 and H2O.
Why energy is necessary to chemical reactions and describe some common sources of energy.?
Explain why energy is necessary to chemical reactions, and describe some common sources of energy.
What about combustion reaction makes them different from either synthesis or decomposition reaction?
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
What type of chemical reaction always produces CO AND H2O?
These are common products of combustion reactions.
What are examples of common everyday use of combustion reactions?
Gas stove and car engine x
What substance is common to all combustion reactions?
Oxygen gas, O2, is present in all combustion reactions. Example: Combusting methane gas CH4(g)+2O2(g) ----> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
What types of chemical reactions may result in the formation of water?
The most common example of such a reaction would be the combustion of hydrogen gas: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O Water is also produced in the combustion of hydrogen compounds (e.g. CH4, H2S), many acid-base reactions, and the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
How are explosions different from other chemical reactions?
Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction, because it is a reaction between a molecule and oxygen (O2) to produce a new molecule plus CO2 (if it's a complete combustion) or CO (if it is an incomplete combustion). Combustion is also an exothermic reaction, which means that heat is released.
What does combustion have in common with cellular respiration?
It is same as combustion. O2 is involved and CO2 is produced
Definition of common?
Anything that can be readily identified can be termed as common.
Common combustion engine problems?
Pollution.
What chemical reactions are most common to break down the molecules?
These are decomposition reactions.
What do you do if you are adding three fractions?
Find a common denominator and proceed.
What reactions do photosynthesis and glycolysis have in common?
No
