representing enthalpy changes
« on: January 10, 2005, 05:44:23 PM »
1.What is the eqatuion for the complete combustion of carbon?
C+O2->CO2
OR C+O2...->CO2+H2O
Does complete combustion always form CO2+H2O?

Thanks for helping! :)

Compustion always makes CO2 and H2O or its not called combustion.

Isn't combustion make CO2 and H2O?
Is this a complete combustion?
C+O2->CO2
Thanks!

complete combustion of hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water, not carbon.

can carbon have combustion?

Combustion:
nonmetal+oxygen->non-metal oxide
carbon is a nonmteal, so the combustion of carbon is:
C+O2->CO2

true?
