Question : 10
Total: 36
State the kind of chemical reactions in the following examples:
(i) Digestion of food in stomach
(ii) Combustion of coal in air
(iii) Heating of limestone
(i) Digestion of food in stomach
(ii) Combustion of coal in air
(iii) Heating of limestone
Solution:
(i) Digestion of food in stomach : During digestion, the complex food is broken into simpler form. Therefore, it is a type of decomposition reaction.
(ii) Combustion of coal in air : During combustion the coal burns in air to formCO 2 , H 2 O along with the evolution of heat. Thus, it is a type of exothermic decomposition reaction.
(iii) Heating of limestone : When limestone is heated strongly, it breaks intoCO 2 and lime. Thus, it is a type of thermal decomposition reaction.
(ii) Combustion of coal in air : During combustion the coal burns in air to form
(iii) Heating of limestone : When limestone is heated strongly, it breaks into
