Combustion
A rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel is called combustion.
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
Combustion
Oxygen and a compound (or a mixture of compounds) able to burn.
combustion
a rapid reaction between oxygen and fuel.
The process where oxygen is reacted to produce heat and light is called combustion. It involves a rapid chemical reaction between a fuel source and oxygen that results in the release of energy in the form of heat and light.
Oxidation is the rapid reaction of any substance with oxygen. This process often results in the formation of new compounds and release of energy in the form of heat and light.
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.
The reaction that occurs when a substance combines with oxygen and releases energy is called combustion. This process typically involves the rapid oxidation of a material, producing heat and light energy as byproducts.
That chemical reaction is called combustion. In the presence of a spark, the gasoline vapor mixes with oxygen in the air and undergoes rapid oxidation, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
The reaction of sulfur and oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide is called combination or synthesis.
