15 chemical reactions with explanation
Answers
1.Photosynthesis
eg:6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
2.Aerobic Cellular Respiration
eg:C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (36 ATPs)
3.Anaerobic Respiration
eg:C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + energy
4. Combustion
eg:C3H8 + 5O2 → 4H2O + 3CO2 + energy
5. Rust
eg:Fe + O2 + H2O → Fe2O3. XH2O
6.Metathesis
eg:HC2H3O2(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) → NaC2H3O2(aq) + H2O() + CO2(g)
7. Digestion
eg:Thousands of chemical reactions take place during digestion. As soon as you put food in your mouth, an enzyme in your saliva called amylase starts to break down sugars and other carbohydrates into simpler forms your body can absorb. Hydrochloric acid in your stomach reacts with food to further break it down, while enzymes cleave proteins and fats so they can be absorbed into your bloodstream through the walls of the intestines.
