Question

With the help of balanced chemical equations sho the process of
a. Rusting
b. Combustion
c. Respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

a.The formation of rust requires iron, water and oxygen. Although it's a complex process, the chemical equation is simply 4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3.

b.Combustion reactions occur when oxygen reacts with another substance and gives off heat and light. Burning coal, methane gas, and sparklers are all common examples of combustion reactions. Essentially, any reaction that involves burning something is a combustion reaction.

Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O.

c.Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by combining oxygen and glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (the currency of energy in cells). ... The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).
