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.


In a combustion reaction carbon is used to make reactants burn?

In a combustion reaction, a carbon-containing compound typically reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat. This process is an exothermic reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light. The combustion of carbon-based fuels is a key source of energy in various industrial and domestic applications.


What term is most used in reference to a combustion reaction?

Combustion reactions are exothermic processes. When substances are burned, heat is given off. An example of this occurs in many homes during the winter. Families burn wood in their fireplaces. This releases energy in the form of heat causing the temperature of the surroundings to increase and warm up the house. In other words, burn is the answer to your questions

Explain what is combustion?

Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.


How combustion is used?

Yes, the combustion of coal or other fossil fuels, wood, etc. (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.


What energy releasing process has oxygean used up?

Combustion reactions are a reaction of oxygen (O2) with carbons (C) and hydrocarbons (CHs) which release chemical energy, specifically thermal heat. An elementary combustion reaction is C + 02 ---> Carbon (C02). In this reaction the O2 is completely consumed, or used up.
