Glucose as a form of sugar, is a reduction from fat - or oil. The glucose must react with oxygen first - e.g. in your blood and will split to a alcohol (methanol, ethanol) and release energy. Here we have the hexagon molecules that very easily burn and provide energy and carbon dioxide. In another form, the glucose is added bacteria in water, left alone for some days, and reduced to ethanol that we can drink "for fun and headache afterwards" and this process will release methane that evaporates. You can the distil the water, and remove the ethanol and use this to power a regular petrol-driven car - and produce carbon dioxide. Ethanol and methane burns with a blushing, colourless flame.

When carbon burns in air carbon dioxide is formed what type of reaction is this?

This is a combustion reaction, where a fuel (carbon) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.


What does a combustion reaction release?

energy, carbon dioxide, and dihydrogen oxide


What does the below reaction carbon dioxide plus water plus energy?

This reaction is called photosynthesis.


What requires energy input what type of reaction is photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide is the reaction pf photosynthesis. This takes a lot of energy.


What is the name of the reactants of the reaction of photosynthesis?

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and the presence of light energy. The products are glucose or C6H12O6 and oxygen.


What does the reaction below represent carbon dioxide water energy- glucose?

photosynthesis


Which reaction traps energy from sunlight?

The commonest reaction is photosynthesis, which is how green plants use the Sun's energy to separate carbon from oxygen in carbon dioxide. This is an important part of the Carbon Cycle. When free carbon and oxygen are re-combined to produce heat in a burning process, the energy is given off as heat and the product is carbon dioxide.


Because it requires energy input what type of reaction is photosynthesis-?

Carbon dioxide is the reaction pf photosynthesis. This takes a lot of energy.


What does reaction of oxygen and glucose produce?

What is the reaction of an organic compound with oxygen producing carbon dioxide water and energy?

The reaction you're describing is combustion. In the presence of oxygen, organic compounds (such as hydrocarbons) undergo combustion to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of heat and light. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases energy.


What reaction takes place in the presence of oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water?

The reaction that takes place in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is combustion. In this exothermic reaction, a fuel (such as hydrocarbons) reacts with oxygen to release energy in the form of heat, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.


Is a heating process onto carbon dioxide a chemical reaction or a physical reaction?

Heating carbon dioxide is a physical reaction because it does not change the chemical makeup of the substance, only its physical state. The heat energy causes the carbon dioxide molecules to vibrate more rapidly, increasing their kinetic energy and leading to a phase change from solid to gas.
