A situation: Charcoal is completely burned to produce CO2, which turns into carbonic acid when exposed to water. Carbonic acid decomposes unsteadily into water and CO2, so it ends up as CO2
. or it reacts with water at high temperature to form CO and H2
Another situation: incomplete combustion of charcoal produces CO, which is insoluble in water, so in the end it 'is always CO
Is it useful to put charcoal in water?
< p>can be used. If the charcoal is not completely burned.
Explanation:
The chemical equation for burning charcoal is C+O2 which ignites the CO2.
Usually, charcoal from barbecue is not pure C and goes out. adulterated with oil and other impurities, but the main component remains carbon (C).
It can therefore still be used.
There are nshadowy pores in charcoal. The internal area of charcoal with a diameter of 1 cm can reach 1 square meter, which has the effect of adsorbing and radioactively adsorbing substances. Charcoal can be used to purify drinking water after treatment. Unprocessed charcoal (common charcoal) can be placed in a bathtub or tub to purify the water. In addition, placing charcoal in the aquarium can also reduce the growth of bacteria and plankton in the aquarium and reduce the incidence of fish diseases.
