Answer:
Natural gas combustion equation:
CH4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2 H2O + HEAT
Octane or oil combustion equation:
2C8H18 + 25 O2 ===> 16CO2 + 18 H2O.
If these fuels were replaced by self-sustaining energy sources, the contamination of the environment would be less, since their combustion generates toxic compounds that damage the ozone layer, promoting the greenhouse effect, increasing the Earth's temperature and also promoting the increase in the passage of ultraviolet radiation.
Explanation:
The combustion reactions are exothermic, and irreversible, they can be complete and incomplete combustions.
They always consist of oxygen as a reagent and water and carbon dioxide as a product (complete), in the case of the incomplete the difference is that the products vary and there may be waste or chemical compounds that failed to burn.
no. The metal would be the hottest
The two molecules will only react if they have enough energy. By heating the mixture, you are raising the energy levels of the molecules involved in the reaction. Increasing temperature also means the molecules are moving around faster and will therefore "bump" into each other more often.
