Explanation:
Combustion of a compound is the reaction with oxygen , hence , the process of combustion is an oxidation reaction.
The carbohydrates contain more amount of oxygen as compared to the fats ,
Hence ,
carbohydrates , have a lot of oxygen contents , are are already partially oxidized , but fats have lower oxygen content .
Therefore ,
The partially oxidized carbohydrates are very difficult to oxidized in comparison to fats .
Answer:
When carbon is burned in air, it forms carbon dioxide gas and releases a large amount of heat and some light:
C+O2= CO2+ heat+ light
