It is thought that, for hydrocarbons, this reaction start by forming a hydroperoxide radical and then hydroxyl radicals, and can produce intermediates such as acetaldehyde and carbon monoxide.
The turbulent type of this reaction is used in gas turbines for better mixing of reactants. Some forms of this type of reaction are slow enough that they take place in portions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. It is thought that, for hydrocarbons, this reaction start by forming a hydroperoxide radical and then hydroxyl radicals, and can produce intermediates such as acetaldehyde and carbon monoxide. For 10 points, name these reactions, in which an organic molecule is typically reacted with oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide.
