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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How is anaerobic respiration affected by changes in temperature?
Anaerobic respiration can be affected by changes in temperature. In general, lower temperatures can slow down the rate of anaerobic respiration, while higher temperatures can speed it up. However, extremely high temperatures can denature enzymes involved in anaerobic respiration, leading to a decrease in its efficiency.
What is combusion?
Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent, typically oxygen, resulting in the release of heat and the formation of products such as water and carbon dioxide. It is a form of exothermic oxidation reaction.
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 burning wood caused by slow oxidation?
Yes, burning wood is a chemical reaction where it rapidly combines with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. This process is known as combustion, not slow oxidation.
How combustion is used?
Yes, the combustion of coal or other fossil fuels, wood, etc. (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
Why does the energy between burning and respiration differ?
Both burning and respiration require a supply of oxygen. Both burning and respiration obtain it from the air, and both burning and respiration create carbon dioxide. Whereas ordinary burning is easily recognised as a form of combustion, respiration is a form of "slow combustion". Similarly in a garden the compost heap develops heat from slow combustion; heat which you can easily detect if you put a load of grass cuttings and leaves into it and test its temperature half a day later. Faster burning (combustion) would be seen if you had a bonfire on the Fifth of November.
Is rusting a slow combustion?
yes
What is slow combustion?
Slow combustion refers to a type of combustion process where fuel burns at a lower rate, generating heat over an extended period of time. This method is often used in wood stoves or biomass boilers to efficiently release heat without producing excessive smoke or emissions. Slow combustion can be more sustainable and cost-effective compared to rapid combustion methods.
If wood undergoes a slow smothered combustion what is left?
Charcoal
How does the hand warmer use a similar process to combustion when it gives off heat?
its not combustion just a slow exothermic reaction

Rusting does not produce flames or a dramatic release of energy like combustion.
What would happen if their was too much nitrogen?
Combustion and decombustion would be extremely slow
What is autoxidation?
Autoxidation is a spontaneous oxidation reaction which results in the slow, flameless combustion of a material.
What are the kinds of aerobic respiration?
Slow twitch and fast twitch A muscle fibers.
What sleep aid can be combined with loratab?
Temazepam has been prescribed for me and works well. Consult with your Dr. before mixing because they can both slow the respiration rate that could be deadly.
What is the equation for slow combustion of coal in a limited oxygen supply?
2c + o2 = 2 co
