C. Respiration
D. Photosynthesis'

Which two of these represent slow combustion? 

  • D and A

  • A and C

  • B and C

  • B and D


B.

A and C

The reaction of an element or compound with an excess of oxygen is called combustion and the combustion process which takes a long time is called slow combustion.

(A)Rusting of iron involves the conversion of iron (Fe) into Fe2O3.xH2O (rust) and takes a longer time, so it is a slow combustion process.

(B)Burning of a candle does not take a longer time, so it is not a slow combustion process.

(C) Respiration involves the breaking down of glucose into CO2 and H2O by O2 and takes a longer time, so it is a slow combustion process.

(D) Photosynthesis, on the other hand, involves the reaction of carbon dioxide and water to give carbohydrate, so it is not a combustion process.
