Question

Chemical equation of burning charcoal in test tube

Answer 1

Explanation:

This model shows the chemical kinetics of the combustion reaction for burning charcoal. C and O are called the reactants and CO2 is the product of the reaction. In this model, charcoal is modeled as a block o pure solid of 100% carbon. The surrounding gas is modeled as oxygen and nitrogen.

The heart of a coal-fired power plant is a boiler, in which coal is burned by combustion to turn water into steam. The following equation shows what burning coal looks like chemically: C + O2 --> CO2. Coal isn't made of pure carbon, but of carbon bound to many other elements.
