Can someone help with this Chem problem?
Which process occurs in our bodies?
Which occurs in engines?
Incorporate the term "kindling temperature" in your explanation.
Answer:
slow oxidation occurs in our bodies- oxidation is the process we use to get rid of things in our body
and spontaneous combustion occurs in engines- spontaneous combustion occurs in engines that work with fuel
hope it helps
Combustion: Any Hydrocarbon + Oxygen -> H2O + CO2 + energy
Spontaneous combustion probably refers to when the 2 reactants above are in close contact, given the right conditions, they're unstable enough to start the chemical reaction themselves.
Slow oxidation occurs when you have 2 unidentical metals that are close together from the bottom list of the reactivity series (not the periodic table) transferring electrons in an redox, like in a battery cell.
The engine uses combustion.
I don't know about human body... if we combust internally we probably died because of the immense heat energy it produces.. so we probably have slow oxidation in our bodies.
