combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas while oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or with an element the loss of electron from an atom or ion is also oxidation but it is not the combustion.
- all oxidizing reactions are not combustion reaction.....but all combustion reactions are oxidizing..
- oxidation reaction does not involve heat.....combustion reactions involve heat....

∙ 11y ago* In the combustion process, organic compounds are oxidized in carbon and H2O molecules. This process requires oxygen participation.
* In oxidation, an ion is basically lost by the addition of oxygen.
* In combustion, oxidation is the end process and heat and light are produced, this is not the same for oxidation.

What is the difference between a closed combustion furnace and open combustion furnace?
what is the purpose of refractory lining in furnace
Difference between rusting and combustion?
Rusting is much slower than combustion, and rusting in the strictest sense can occur only with iron or its alloys.
What gas from the air is needed for combustion?
the three essentials for combustion are :- (i) combustible substance (ii) oxygen (iii) ignition temperature
What is the difference between combustion and breathing?
breathing is the activity animals go through to get oxygen into their circulatory system. The end result and purpose of breathing is combustion although we usually don't use that term in biology.
What is a rapid reaction between oxygen and fuel called?
A rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel is called combustion.
What is the difference between a reciprocating internal combustion engine and compression ignition combustion engine?
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine ignition system and a piston engine ignition system?
Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
What is the difference between combustion and detonation as in a internal combustion?
When the engine detonates its referring to the engine giving spark to the compressed air/fuel in the cylinder, when theres combustion its simply the explosion that happens after ignition.
What is the difference between detonation and knocking in ic engine?
Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.
What is the difference between ignition temperature and spontaneous ignition temperature in a fuel cell?
The minimum temperature the fuel ignites self sustained combustion is known as spontaneous ignition temperature. The temperature at which the substance is preheated and burns smoothly is known as ignition temperature.
What is the difference between spontaneous combustion and rapid combustion?
differentiate rapid combustion to spontaneous combustion
What are the difference between respiration and combustion?
Respiration is breathing Combustion is burning
What is the difference between sulphated ash and residue on ignition?
The only difference between sulphated ash and the residue on ignition is the terminology. The residue on an ignition is sulphated ash.
How Combustion lag and ignition timing are connected?
Combustion lag refers to the time between spark(ignition) and the highest combustion pressure in an engine. Ignition timing refers to how many degrees before top dead center(top dead center compression in 4 strokes) the crankshaft rotation is during ignition. These two are connected by timing your ignition on point with combustion lag characteristics to tune ignition timing and gain max volumetric efficiency out of an engine. Timing advances (ignites farther from tdc) as rpm's increase.
What is the difference between a closed combustion furnace and open combustion furnace?
what is the purpose of refractory lining in furnace
What is the difference between internal combustion engine and heat engine?
Difference between diesel engine and old steam engine?
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
