1. Inorganic combustion
2. Organic combustion
Given
The chemical equations
Required
Balanced equation
Solution
Organic compounds have the characteristic that there is a chain of carbon atoms, while inorganic does not have a chain of carbon atoms
The reaction of a substance with oxygen is called a combustion reaction
Complete combustion of carbon compounds will get CO₂ gas, whereas if it is not complete it will produce CO gas
So Organic : contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom)
1. Ca + O₂ ⇒ CaO₂
Inorganic combustion⇒does not contain carbon
2. C₃H₂O + 3O₂ → 3CO₂ + H₂O
Organic combustion
