How is combustion related to digestion? And what are the products and reactants of combustion? Pl help 80 points

Digestion is not an example of combustion. Digestion is an endothermic process where energy is utilized to break up complex food particle to simpler forms. In a combustion reaction carbon dioxide, water, energy and some by products are released.

Examples of combustion by-products include: particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, water vapor and hydrocarbons.

The first required reactant in combustion is a fuel.The second required reactant in combustion is an oxidant.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
