How is combustion reaction similar to corrosion of iron?
They have different meanings and they are spelled differently. Corrosion is the act of gnawing away or corroding such as the action of rust on metal. Combustion is the process of burning. However, in chemistry there is also the meaning of slow oxidation not accompanied by high heat or light.
Is copper turing green a physical or chemical change?
It's a chemical change. Copper oxidizes to form copper oxide, which is similar to iron rusting. A color change very often indicates a chemical change.
Why could respiration be called 'slow combustion'?
Respiration is the process of turning inhaled oxygen into exhale carbon dioxide and creating energy. This is a very similar reaction to that of combustion. When a hydrocarbon burns, such a natural gas or methane (CH4), it combines with oxygen, producing CO2 and water. The definition of combustion is a reaction in which something is oxidized in an exothermic reaction, and that is exactly what happens in respiration.
If you have had a reaction to hydrocodone what is the likely hood of have a reaction to tramadol?
I'm no Doctor, but I had an allergic reaction to both. I've been told there are similar chemical component's.
Is rusting an example of burning?
Fire is the oxidation of carbon in the form of wood or coal and is an exothermic reaction (releases heat). Rusting is the oxidation of iron which is also an exothermic reaction releasing small amounts of heat but to be considered burning it must be an intense heat. The reaction between oxygen and iron is too slow and releases its heat over too long a period of time but that is an interesting way to think about the reaction. That is similar to asking if H2O is a rusty H2 molecule.
Process of rusting is same as combustion?
Rusting is similar to combustion in that oxygen is a required reactant. However, classic combustion has carbon dioxide and water as products, whereas rusting simply has a metal oxide as a product.
How are rusting the same as burning?
In some ways. Rusting is an oxidation reaction similar to fire and it does release heat, but it is so slow that the heat does not affect the reaction. In a fire the heat released goes helps sustain the reaction.
How does the hand warmer use a similar process to combustion when it gives off heat?
its not combustion just a slow exothermic reaction

What is the process called that most living things obtain energy through that is similar to a combustion reaction?
a process

How is the combustion of propane similar to cellular respiration?
If the combustion of propane isn't getting enough oxygen it is incomplete and it would be a smokey yellow flame. For humans we depend on chemical potential energy from plants and animals. Propane combustion and cellular respiration are different because propane combustion depends on oxygen to fuel it and humans depend on chemical potential energy to fuel themselves.
How is it calcium carbide and water similar to an actual eruption?
It is a chemical reaction which then shoots out like a volcano does

Why is Fe balanced with coefficient of 3 instead of a subscript of 3?
The subscript is mentioned only in a chemical formula.3 FeCl3 in a chemical reaction is not similar to Fe3O4 in a chemical formula.
