Practice: Determine the products, balance the equation, and identify as organic or inorganic combustion reaction (circle).
1)
Ca + O2
Inorganic or Organic combustion?
2)
C3H2O +
02
Inorganic or Organic combustion?

1. Inorganic combustion

2. Organic combustion

Given

The chemical equations

Required

Balanced equation

Solution

Organic compounds have the characteristic that there is a chain of carbon atoms, while inorganic does not have a chain of carbon atoms

The reaction of a substance with oxygen is called a combustion reaction

Complete combustion of carbon compounds will get CO₂ gas, whereas if it is not complete it will produce CO gas

So Organic : contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom)

1. Ca + O₂ ⇒ CaO₂

Inorganic combustion⇒does not contain carbon

2. C₃H₂O + 3O₂ → 3CO₂ + H₂O

Organic combustion

african americans demonstrated their newly found freedom by relocating often in search of relatives whom they had been separated from during slavery. others established schools to educate freed people and they built institutions such as churches and political organizations to advocate for their rights.
