What is the rapid burning of fuels that takes place in engines is called?
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
Do substances actually burn in combustion?
Combustion is the process of rapid oxidation of a substance i.e. its rapid reaction with oxygen. This whole process is called burning. So, it can be said that the substance burns in combustion.
How does a combustion reaction begins?
The combustion reaction begins with the rapid combination of a fuel and oxygen. This produces heat and light (fire).
Methane plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide plus water what type of reaction is this?
rapid oxidation aka combustion aka burning process
What is the chemical reaction of a match being burnt?
Rapid oxidation.
A rapid reaction between oxygen and fuel is called?
Combustion

What is a rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel know as?
Combustion
What is a rapid reaction between fuel and oxygen resulting in fire.?
combustion
Combustion is the rapid reaction between what?
Oxygen and a compound (or a mixture of compounds) able to burn.
Where was the first internal conbustion engine invented?
a rapid reaction between oxygen and fuel.
Do substances actually burn in combustion?

What is the common product of a reaction between oxygen and a fuel?
When fuel is burned in oxygen, this is called combustion. Depending on the fuel used, the chemical reaction will be different. Taking propane gas, as an example: CH3CH2CH3 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O All combustion reactions of fuel will result in CO2 and H2O.
How does a combustion reaction begins?
The combustion reaction begins with the rapid combination of a fuel and oxygen. This produces heat and light (fire).
What is the difference between rapid oxidation and slow oxidation?
Rapid oxidation is a fire. Its burning. The oxygen reacts with the substance very quickly in a fire. Slow oxidation is rusting. Rust happens very slowly but its the same chemical reaction.
What is a rapid series of nuclear fissions?
This might be called a chain reaction.
Does aluminium react vigorously with oxygen?
A clean aluminum surface reacts very rapidly with oxygen, but the surface is quickly covered with a surface passivating layer containing aluminum and oxygen that prevents further rapid reaction.
