Combustion is a sequence of exothermic(heat releasing) chemical reactions between a fuel, most likely a hydrocarbon, and an oxidant, which will always be oxygen.
Water, more specifically water vapor, is formed in a combustion reaction because the reactants (initial compounds/elements) chemically change when energy is added to the equation to form the products of water vapor and often carbon dioxide.
For example:
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O(g) + heat
In the above combustion reaction, hydrogen and oxygen reaction with each other to form water vapor, and in the process release heat. The above reaction is an example of the process used to propel rockets.
Or:
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + heat
Again, in this reaction both reacting compounds have the necessary elements to form water vapor as a product. This is the case in every combustion reaction.
The main combustion of water is oxygen.....true dat! ;)
Combustion reactions
carbon dioxide and water
Water and carbon dioxide if the combustion is complete.
Carbon dioxide is the gas that is the product of combustion of propane.
Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion. It cannot undergo combustion.
Water can be a product of combustion.
Combustion reactions
Water can be a product of combustion.
the product of any combustion rxn is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H20 (water).
Yes.
carbon dioxide and water
the product of any combustion rxn is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H20 (water).
Water is a by product of the combustion and is normal.
carbon dioxide and water
Hydrogen. The combustion product is water.
