Explanation:

There are two aspects of a reaction:

Thermodynamics:

Combustion of the compound is reaction with oxygen.

The carbohydrates contain more content of oxygen as compared to fats.

Hence, carbohydrates have lot of oxygen content which are already partially oxidized as compared to fats. Hence, combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

Kinetics:

The molecular reacts also shows that the combustion of the carbohydrates is a faster process.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:  28.4 g of aluminum oxide is produced by the reaction of 15.0 g of aluminum metal

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}   

\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{15.0g}{27g/mol}=0.556moles

The balanced chemical equuation is:

4Al+3O_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3  

According to stoichiometry :

4 moles of Al produce == 2 moles of Al_2O_3

Thus 0.556 moles of Al will produce=\frac{2}{4}\times 0.556=0.278moles  of Al_2O_3

Mass of Al_2O_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.278moles\times 102g/mol=28.4g

Thus 28.4 g of aluminum oxide is produced by the reaction of 15.0 g of aluminum metal.
