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.


What characteristic do photosynthesis and combustion share?

Photosynthesis and combustion both involve the conversion of chemical energy into another form of energy. However, in photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy, while in combustion, chemical energy is converted into heat and light energy through a chemical reaction.


What is the difference between respiration and combustion?

Respiration is the process where living organisms convert glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Combustion is a chemical reaction where a substance rapidly reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light energy along with carbon dioxide and water vapor in the case of organic materials. Respiration is a controlled process in living organisms, while combustion is a rapid and uncontrolled process.


What are the difference between respiration and combustion?

Respiration is a biological process that occurs in living organisms to produce energy, using oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Combustion is a chemical process that involves the rapid oxidation of a material, typically a fuel, with the release of heat and light. Respiration is a controlled process that occurs in cells, while combustion is an uncontrolled process that typically occurs in the presence of a flame or spark.

Rusting of iron is a slow type of combustion?

Rusting is a chemical process where iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide. This is a slow process compared to traditional combustion, such as burning wood, where a rapid chemical reaction releases heat and light energy. Rusting does not produce flames or a dramatic release of energy like combustion.

Why rusting of iron considered as a combustion process?

Because it's the "burning" of iron in oxygen. It's just slow.


What is an autooxidation?

Car overheats cools when slow down?

If it overheats at speed, but cools down when you slow down, the problem is likely a head gasket. Combustion gasses are leaking into the cooling system, adding bubbles (which take the place of coolant) and extra heat. Slowing down means the engine is spinning slower, and less combustion gas gets into the cooling system.
