The complete combustion of carbon compounds produces carbon dioxide.The reaction of coal with water at high temperatures produces synthesis gas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.Use the bond energies in the table below to estimate how much more energy is released by reaction I than by reaction II. I) C(s) +O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ CO₂(g) II) C(s) + H₂O(g) $\rightarrow$ CO₂(g) +H₂(g) * C = O bond in CO₂

The Answer of The complete combustion of carbon compounds produces carbon dioxide.The reaction of coal with water at high temperatures produces synthesis gas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.Use the bond energies in the table below to estimate how much more energy is released by reaction I than by reaction II. I) C(s) +O₂(g) $\rightarrow$ CO₂(g) II) C(s) + H₂O(g) $\rightarrow$ CO₂(g) +H₂(g) * C = O bond in CO₂

The Complete Combustion of Carbon Compounds Produces Carbon Dioxide →\rightarrow→ CO2(g) II) C(s) + H2O(g)

The Complete Combustion of Carbon Compounds Produces Carbon Dioxide $\rightarrow$ CO₂(g)
II) C(s) + H₂O(g)
