What material provides the oxygen necessary to the combustion of the charcoal?
Oxidizers provide the oxygen neccesary for the combustion of charcoal. Oxidizers are common in the use of propellants, especially for rockets where there is an environment that has zero atomsphere present. An oxidizer is a type of chemical which a fuel requires to burn. Most types of burning on Earth use oxygen, which is prevalent in the atmosphere. However in space there is no atmosphere to provide oxygen or other oxidizers so rockets need to carry up their own oxidizers. Usually, they are carried in a different tank than the fuel and released in the proper proportion with the fuel when the rocket is fired.
What other words to describe fire?
Combustion or oxidation.
What ingredients are in combustion?
Combustion typically has a Fuel and an Oxidizer.Typically the oxidizer is Oxygen in the elemental form O2, but it can be other substances such as potassium nitrate or ammonium perchlorate which are often used in rocket fuels in the absences of air.The fuel can be any hydrocarbon source such as wood, oil, coal, alcohol, etc. Or anyreducing substance that reacts with the oxidizer above.Two other components would be an activation energy (the energy required to initiate the reaction) and a requirement for an exothermic reaction (a chemical reaction that releases heat or energy).I.E. Wood and air are fine together... until you light a match.
How do you know there is a chemical reaction when a firework goes off?
Yes- fire is an example of combustion- the reaction with oxygen to produce a variety of products which depend on the material being burnt- burning say coal or oil gives CO2 and CO as well as many other compounds. Yes it is. When you set something on fire, it means you are oxidizing it.
What products are formed from incomplete combustion during the process?
If refering to hydrocarbons, complete combustion is carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion may include any other compounds, e.g. carbon, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, acids, peroxides...

Is oxygen needed for a combustion reaction to take place?
No, it is impossible. You need oxygen to create fire. That is what it feeds on.
A material that yiels oxygen causing or enhancing the combustion of other materials is classified as a?
oxidizer
Material that yields oxygen causing or enhancing the combustion of other materials is classified as?
An Oxidizer
A material that yields oxygen causing or enhancing the combustion of other materials is classified as a?
Oxidizer
What is the equation for complete combustion for Citronella Oil?
An oil is not a pure substance, it is a mixture; combustion of organic materials release carbon dioxide and water. If other elements exist in the molecule also other gases are released or a solid residue remain.
Is chlorine reactive with oxygen?
No. Both are oxidizers- they will react with the same things, but not each other.
Combustion produces heat and new chemical substances called what?
Combustion of organic materials and fossil fuels produce essentially carbon dioxide, water and some other gases as carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, etc. Of course the combustion (an oxidation chemical reaction) is an exothermic reaction and produce heat.
Are exhaust fumes explosive?
If Car exhaust fumes are mixed with any other gases it can be explosive.Answer:The exhaust from a combustion process generally have all of the combustible materials used up to form carbon dioxide and water. Neither of these are explosive. Like ashes from a fire (which are not combustible) gases of combustion are not explosive.
Balanced equation for the burning carbon in air?
For complete combustion, the equation is C + O2 => CO2. If the supply of oxygen is limited, carbon monoxide can also form, along with soot and other materials.
Do combustion reactions destroy atoms?
No. In a combustion reaction, or any other chemical reaction, the atoms only rearrange how they are bonded with each other.
How important is combustion in an internal combustion engine?
The combustion stroke is where all of the power from an engine is derived making it the most important however the other strokes play a role in how well the combustion process is completed. Each stroke is vital in the process of combustion.
