It is much easier to control the hydrogen
and oxygen during direct combustion than
during their reaction in a fuel cell.

Can a combustion reaction produce hydrogen?
No. If anything, a combustion reaction will consume hydrogen.
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
Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?
No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.
A reaction occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?
This is an oxidation reaction (combustion, burning).
How can oxygen produce combustion?
Oxygen is a required reactant in a combustion reaction - without oxygen, you do not have combustion. If you combine a hydrocarbon with oxygen and add heat, you will cause a combustion reaction that results in carbon dioxide and water being formed (provided there was complete combustion).
Can a combustion reaction produce hydrogen?
No. If anything, a combustion reaction will consume hydrogen.
When copper burns why doesn't it produce hydrogen?
Because burning (combustion) is an oxidation reaction and hydrogen is not implied.
What type of reaction occurs when between hydrogen and oxygen to produce water?
combustion and combination

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.
Does hydrogen combustion produce carbon?
No, burning hydrogen produces only water, it does not produce carbon or carbon dioxide.

This is an oxidation reaction (combustion, burning).
What is the formula for the chemical reaction for oxygen and hydrogen?
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O - reaction to produce water H2+O2-> H2O2 - reaction to produce hydrogen peroxide
What is called the ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction?
Combustion
How is the chemical reaction that occured when the Hindenburg erupted into a fire ball described?
The gas bag of the Hindenburg dirigible was filled with hydrogen gas. The reaction was, at least initially, combination of hydrogen with oxygen from the air to produce water and much heat. The heat eventually triggered other reactions, such as oxidation of the passengers. Reaction of other materials with oxygen to produce gaseous products is generally called "combustion".
Does combustion reactions form precipitates?
a combustion reaction does not produce a precipitate an example is 2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 + 10H2O
