Question
What type of reaction is represented by the digestion of food in our body?
Advertisements
Solution
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.
\[\ce{\underset{Glucose}{C6H12O6_{(aq)}} + \underset{Oxygen}{6O2_{(g)}} -> \underset{dioxide}{\underset{carbon}{6CO2_{(g)}}} + \underset{Water}{6H2O_{(l)}} + Heat}\]
