The process of combustion is oxidation at a rapid enough rate to produce a flame. Oxidation requires an oxidizing agent. That agent is usually oxygen when a substance combusts in the atmosphere.

How can oxygen produce combustion?
Oxygen is a required reactant in a combustion reaction - without oxygen, you do not have combustion. If you combine a hydrocarbon with oxygen and add heat, you will cause a combustion reaction that results in carbon dioxide and water being formed (provided there was complete combustion).
Why is combustion reactions an oxidation reactions?
Because combustion is a reaction with oxygen.
Is burning of oxygen combustion or decomposition?
Combustion. Any reaction that has O2 as a reactant is combustion.
How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?
No moles of oxygen are produced by complete combustion of propane. Oxygen is CONSUMED, not produced. For combustion of 4 moles of propane, it will use 20 moles of oxygen.
Does the sun have oxygen to support combustion?
No. The sun is about 1% oxygen but it does not carry out combustion. It is instead powered by nuclear fusion.
Is oxygen required in combustion?
No, oxygen is required for combustion to take place.
Is oxygen one result of combustion?
No. Oxygen is a reactant in combustion, not a product.
How can oxygen produce combustion?
Oxygen is a required reactant in a combustion reaction - without oxygen, you do not have combustion. If you combine a hydrocarbon with oxygen and add heat, you will cause a combustion reaction that results in carbon dioxide and water being formed (provided there was complete combustion).
Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
Is moecular oxygen a reaction during a combustion?
No. Molecular oxygen is a reactant in a combustion reaction.
Why is combustion reactions an oxidation reactions?
Because combustion is a reaction with oxygen.
Why does complete combustion release more energy than incomplete combustion?
in complete combustion the amount of oxygen is higher/more than the amount of oxygen in incomplete combustion. Heat needs oxygen.
What gas from the air is needed for combustion?
the three essentials for combustion are :- (i) combustible substance (ii) oxygen (iii) ignition temperature
What does combustion require?
Combustion requires Heat, Fuel and Oxygen
Is burning of oxygen combustion or decomposition?
Combustion. Any reaction that has O2 as a reactant is combustion.
How combustion formed?
Combustion is a an oxydation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.
How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?
No moles of oxygen are produced by complete combustion of propane. Oxygen is CONSUMED, not produced. For combustion of 4 moles of propane, it will use 20 moles of oxygen.
