____ [38]3 years ago
4 0
This is called a combustion reaction. A combustion reaction involves oxygen gas. Most combustion reaction are exothermic as they give off heat. When organic molecules (containing carbon and hydrogen) combust the reaction products are carbon dioxide and water as well as heat or light. Combustion reactions may be complete or incomplete, a complete combustion releases more energy than incomplete combustion.

Why is feo named using a roman numeral, iron (ii) oxide, whereas cao named without a roman numeral, calcium oxide?
Hitman42 [59]
<span>Answer: Some metals have the ability to form differently charged ions. For example, iron can form 2 + or 3 + ions. If you simply gave the name iron chloride, you would not know which charge the iron ion possessed. A Roman numeral is to indicate the charge of the iron. Iron ( II ) means the iron has a 2 + charge Iron ( III ) means that the iron has a 3 + charge So, iron ( II ) oxide would have a chemical formula of FeO . (The oxide ion has a 2 â’ charge to balance the 2 + of the iron to form a neutral compound.) Iron ( III ) oxide would have a chemical formula of Fe 2 O 3 (Here you need to find the common multiple of 6, so two iron ions with a 3 + charge will balance the charge of three oxide ions with a 2 + charge.)</span>
