The combustion of carbohydrates and the combustion of fats are both exothermic processes, yet the combustion of carbohydrates is a faster process. how can this be? answer in detail , .

Explanation:

Combustion of a compound is the reaction with oxygen , hence , the process of combustion is an oxidation reaction.

The carbohydrates contain more amount of oxygen as compared to the fats ,

Hence ,

carbohydrates , have a lot of oxygen contents , are are already partially oxidized , but fats have lower oxygen content .

Therefore ,

The partially oxidized carbohydrates are very difficult to oxidized in comparison to fats .
