2.3: Fossil Fuel Combustion and Rusting Reactions

I can compare the changes in reactants and products in fossil fuel combustion and rusting reactions.

I can describe, using observation, the chemical properties of reactants and products in chemical reactions (e.g., neutralization, combustion, simple composition, decomposition).

Objective: Investigate and describe combustion and rusting reactions.

Activities:

Lab: Combustion of hydrocarbons and comparison of fossil fuel combustion.

Case Study: Examining rusting as an example of a chemical reaction.

Discussion: Analyzing the chemical processes involved in rusting and combustion.
