when an atom of hydrogen (h) reacts with oxygen (o) a long chain of atoms is produced and since paper is made from wood, you must add that to the equation since 9(0.11)(o2+h7)* however this is high level chemistry AS LEVEL founded of the SGTP course of investigation so the short answer is no due to the fact that when hydrogen is reacted with oxygen and paper is combusted the equation is incomplete and the answer given is to 2 decimal places

Are elements in a compound heated until they boil?
Combust
Does methane spontaneously combust?
Yes, it is highly combustible gas.
Will methane gas combust and raise steam temperature further if added to steam 600 degrees C in a chamber?
Methane needs oxygen to combust so it would depend on how much oxygen there is in the chamber.
Why is paper flammable?
Paper burns easily because since it used to be made of plants, it contains the chemicals of it, which plants had cellulose, which was their sugar (food), and it burns easily. Even when the plant is first set on fire, it still releases energy. When paper is made, the structure is different, but the chemicals remain.
Why doesn't water formed by hydrogen and oxygen combust?
Because the hydrogen and oxygen are already chemically combined.
What gas is needed for paper to burn?
Answer:Burning of wood is a process of combustion. By definition if something is undergoing combustion oxygen must be involved in the reaction.
Could you heat paper in a vacuum where there is no oxygen for it to combust and melt it?
You can't burn it but you can heat the paper directly. Paper is largely cellulose; I can't actually find a citation, but it's extremely likely that it decomposes before it melts.
Why doesn't a match spontaneously combust?
A match can't spontaneously combust because it need someone or something to strike it. It can't combust on it's own TRC
What gives krypton the ability to combust?
You are mistaken. The element krypton is a noble gas, which does not combust.
Will the mercury metal combust?
no!
Does silver react with Oxygen to ComBust?
Silver does not combust as it is not a very reactive metal. It corrodes slowly by reacting with oxygen in the atmosphere.
Does faeces spontaneously combust?
It is not possible.
Can science destroy you?
you can spontaneously combust
Do hummingbirds spontaneously-combust on contact with ketchup?
No.
If you're exposed to liquid?
You spontaniously combust
The flammibility of a substance is?
