Question

Why is the carbon oxidised

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon oxidation is a heterogeneous reaction at the solid surface, since Tb>Ti. The carbon surface absorbs oxygen molecules and desorbs CO or CO2. Surface oxidation reactions produce CO or CO2, a reduction reaction produces CO, and a CO volume reaction produces CO2.
