A blank reaction occurs when a substance usually contain carbon reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?

The oxidation is called "combustion" (i.e. burning).


What is called the ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction?

Combustion


Does combustion reactions form precipitates?

a combustion reaction does not produce a precipitate an example is 2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 + 10H2O


How does burning produce new materials?

Burning is a term which generally describes the chemical reaction combustion. Combustion always involves the reaction of a substance with an oxidizing agent to yield products which are either components of the original substance or different compounds which contain the same atoms. So, the process of combustion always yields a substance which is different from the original compound (i.e. forms a new substance) along with a lot of heat. This heat allows the substance to continue burning until no reactants remain or something inhibits the reaction - usually by removing access to one of the reactants or removing energy form the system. Most organic matter will burn to produce large quantities of carbon dioxide and water.


A reaction occurs when a substance usually containing carbon reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light.?

FALSE. I would call this reaction a combustion reaction. I always understood a combination reaction to be a reaction between two elements or compounds to form 1 product. For example, sodium reacting with chlorine to produce sodium chloride. A combustion reaction usually forms more than one product. When burning fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil, etc.) the fuel contains compunds which are composed of mostly carbon & hydrogen. So when reacted with oxygen (or combusted) the products are carbon dioxide & water vapor, in addition to the heat & light produced.

Explain what is combustion?

Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.


Can a combustion reaction produce hydrogen?

No. If anything, a combustion reaction will consume hydrogen.


Is 2SO2 plus O2 equals 2SO3 a combustion reaction Why or why not?

Not a combustion reaction. Combustion reactions produce CO2 and H2O.


Why is incomplete combustion messy?

A complete combustion reaction will produce CO2 and H2O, while an incomplete combustion reaction produces CO and H2O.


Chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light?

It's called combustion, and it's one of the primary reaction types. Combustion reactions combine a fuel with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Combustion reactions are exothermic, meaning they produce an excess of energy.

The oxidation is called "combustion" (i.e. burning).

Are glow sticks an example of a combustion reaction?

No, a combustion reaction is where a chemical reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide and lots of heat. Glow sticks use a a kind of reaction chemiluminescence. The reactions often involve oxygen particularly hydrogen peroxide, but they are not combustion reactions and typically produce little to no heat
