Ello all. I have a odd question but i am curious to how it relates to chemistry or better yet understand the chemistry of it.
Is there a chemical equation that demonstrates the reaction a piece of wood goes threw when it is turned to carbonized wood aka charcoal. such as what elements or compounds are lost during carbonization. How much of the original properties of the wood are left?
The reason being, i am curious to find out if 85% of the wood is carbon and the rest is just its natural properties?
tahnks
