Combustion of carbon (chemical reaction)
See also: Combustion of carbon
The triangle of fire
For the combustion of carbon as for each combustion it is necessary:
- a Combustible
- a Combustive
- a energy of activation.
These three components form the Triangle of fire which will be necessary so that a Combustion can occur.
Combustion
In the combustion of the Carbone the fuel is carbon, the combustive one is the Dioxygène and the energy of activation is thus a flame.
The chemical symbol of carbon is C, and that of dioxygene is O2 what means two atoms of Oxygène. Carbon and the dioxygene, in this reaction these elements will be called the reagents. I.e. they will disappear by giving the finished product from this reaction. In other words, the Réactifs disappear and other products are formed during a combustion.
Maintaining during the combustion of carbon, dioxygene and carbon will disappear by forming carbon dioxide.
The equation assessment of this reaction is thus: C + 02 => CO2; C02 meaning carbon dioxide. It will thus be noticed that the Atome S of fuel and combustive were assembled by forming a Molécule. There are always dioxygene and carbon but " collés". No atom disappeared.
