How does oxidation of a metal compare to combustion of a covalent compound?
In oxidation of metal there is formation of metal oxide while in combustion of hydrocarbon carbondioxide and water is formed as a product and energy is released. Oxidation of metal is very slow reaction so it is hard to detect energy release while in combustion of hydrocarbon lot of heat is released because reaction is very fast.

in problem one. How does oxidation off a metal compared to combustion off a covenant compound? So this question is taken from the topic oxidation. So in oxidation off a metal, there is the formation off metal oxide in the oxidation. Off metal, there is the formation off metal oxide. There is thief formation off metal oxide. So let consider an example off magnesium. So when magnesium reacts with the oxygen, then there is the information off M g O, which is a metal oxide, so and violin case off combustion, but in case off condition. So in case off combustion off the hydrocarbon, there is the formation off carbon dioxide and water. The formation off carbon dioxide that co two and H 20 is formed as a product is formed as our product and energy is released and energy is released. So basically, this is the reaction off conversion. Let us consider an example in which meth index with the oxygen toe form, carbon exit and water, and lot off energy is released in this reaction. So energy is released in the former it and late. So on balancing this equation, we get to which tool and this is the Toto. Now, this is the balance equation for this Methane went decks with the oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. So oxidation off a metal is very slow process. Also, oxidation offer metal is very slow process. It is very slow process. Right? So it is hard toe. So it is hard toe detect energy. So it is hard to detect energy in case off the oxidation, detect energy release in case off the observation while in case off commission in case off condition off hydrocarbon hydrocarbon lot off heat is at least a lot off. It is released. Lot off heat is her released because reaction is very fast because the reaction is very fast. Very first So combustion reaction our fast direction as compared toa the oxidation oxidation Is this slow reaction and conditions? Compassion is the fast reaction so that we can see that oxidation off a metal is a slow reaction. So it is hard to detect energy released while in the combustion off hydrocarbon lot off heat is at least because it is very fast.
