Question

Difference between wood charcoal and activated charcoal

Answer 1

Charcoal is obtained when wood is partially burned, or when it is burned in the absence of oxygen. Activated charcoal, on the other hand, is obtained by burning carbon-rich substances at very high temperatures due to the addition of materials such as acid, bases, or salts (such as chloride salts).

Answer 2

Answer:

When wood is partially burned or burned in the absence of oxygen, charcoal is produced. This is called wood charcoal.

Activated charcoal, on the other hand, is made by combining carbon-rich compounds with acids, bases, or salts and burning them at extremely high temperatures (such as chloride salts).

Explanation:

Differences

• Charcoal is made by partially burning wood and carbon compounds, or by burning without oxygen. Activated charcoal, on the other hand, is made by burning carbon-rich materials with the addition of additional chemicals such as acids, bases, or salts.
• In comparison to the heat required to burn activated charcoal, charcoal is burned at lower temperatures. Because of the additional chemicals in activated charcoal, a large quantity of heat is required.
• In comparison to activated charcoal, wood charcoal has a lesser total surface area and is a poor material absorbent.
• Activated charcoal is used in skincare products, deodorants, and water filtration. Wood charcoal is utilized in cooking products and pharmaceuticals.
