What type of reaction is represented by the digestion of food in our body?

उत्तर
Digestion of food in our body represents a decomposition reaction. In this reaction, glucose undergoes slow combustion, combining with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, with the evolution of heat.
\[\ce{\underset{Glucose}{C6H12O6_{(aq)}} + \underset{Oxygen}{6O2_{(g)}} -> \underset{dioxide}{\underset{carbon}{6CO2_{(g)}}} + \underset{Water}{6H2O_{(l)}} + Heat}\]

A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
