Question

Explain the combustion and substitution reactions of carbon compounds by taking methane as an example

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A combustion reaction (commonly known as burning ) is an exothermic reaction in which something reacts with oxygen. The combustion of organic compounds usually takes the form organic compound + oxygen => water + carbon dioxide.

Eg. CH4+O2------- CO2+H2O+ heat and light energy

Substitution reaction (also known as single displacement reaction or single substitution reaction) is a chemical reaction during which one functional group in a chemical compound is replaced by another functional group.

Eg:When a mixture of methane and chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet light - typically sunlight - a substitution reaction occurs and the organic product is chloromethane
