Why are combustion reactions useful to humans?
Combustion reactions are very valuable and useful to humans in several ways. One important combustion reaction takes place in an internal combustion engine.
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
If you say 'oxygen gas supports combustion' are you talking about a chemical or physical reaction?
Combustion is a hemical reaction.
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the?
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
Is oxygen one result of combustion?
No. Oxygen is a reactant in combustion, not a product.
Why are combustion reactions useful to humans?
Combustion reactions are very valuable and useful to humans in several ways. One important combustion reaction takes place in an internal combustion engine.
Why is coal combustion useful?
Yes, the combustion of coal (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
Where is it useful for gases to be compressed?
Refrigerators, combustion engines, air cannons, SCUBA and submarines.
What are the uses of combustion?
a combustion engine perhaps?
Why is oxygen useful and how?
O is the gas that animals respirate. Also essential for combustion. It is a main component in organic matter.
How much useful energy does a gas boiler waste?
Probably about 25 percent of the heat of combustion goes up the stack
Explain why complete combustion is desirable?
The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.
Does water affect the heat of combustion of ethanol?
There are two angles to this question: 1. If your ethanol is contaminated with water it will reduced the amount of useful heat generated since the water will boil off while the ethanol is burning. 2. The water generated as a result of combustion is included as a term in the calculation of heat of combustion.
Petrol used in a car harmful or useful?
petrol is the same as gas for one. and two because it has a low combustion point making it easier to ignite. petrol is the same as gas for one. and two because it has a low combustion point making it easier to ignite.
What are some small explosions that have useful purposes that the average person doesnt realize are explosions?
The power strokes occurring inside the cylinders of internal combustion engines.
Petrol is useed in a car engine-useful or harmful?
petrol is the same as gas for one. and two because it has a low combustion point making it easier to ignite. petrol is the same as gas for one. and two because it has a low combustion point making it easier to ignite.
What is the maximum amount of useful work that can be accomplished under standard conditions by this reaction when 4 mol of C2H2 is burned?
The heat of combustion for acetylene is -1309,5 kJ/mol.
