Combustion involves many different reactants and produces many different products. There are endless numbers of things that can burn, and endless types of chemicals released when these things burn.
Added:
Generally, and what you will see in an academic setting, this;
A hydrocarbon, or a carbohydrate with oxygen gas as the reactants.
The products are always carbon dioxide and water.
CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

In a combustion reaction between butane and oxygen which contains more energy reactants catalyst products or products and reactants contain the same amount of energy?
Every combustion process is exothermic (the release of heat and light) so the products have low energy as compare to reactants which are in this case Butane and oxygen.
What is the combustion triangle?
The triangle seen in combustion reactions on top of the arrow separating the reactants from the products is the Greek letter delta which means heat is added.
Are the products favored over the reactants or the reactants favored over the products?
keq3.5: products favored keq0.003: reactants favored
What is the combustion equation for methane without oxygen?
The reactants are CH4, O2 and the products are CO2, H2O. CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
What happens to the reactants when a chemical change occurs?
The reactants change & turn into products.
What is reactants and products of complete combustion?
reactants: an element and oxygen products: the oxide of the element
In a combustion reaction between butane and oxygen which contains more energy reactants catalyst products or products and reactants contain the same amount of energy?
Every combustion process is exothermic (the release of heat and light) so the products have low energy as compare to reactants which are in this case Butane and oxygen.
When burning fuel what are the reactants?
The burning of fossil fuels are a combustion reaction. The reaction for the combustion has the reactants of propane (C3H8) and oxygen (O2). The combustion reactions products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

When combustion takes place do the products have more energy then the reactants?
yes they have more energy
What is the combustion triangle?
The triangle seen in combustion reactions on top of the arrow separating the reactants from the products is the Greek letter delta which means heat is added.
In a combustion reaction carbon is used to make reactants burn?
No, in a combustion reaction carbon is not used to make reactants burn.
In a chemical reaction the mass of the products is what?
The Mass of Products equals the Mass of the Reactants. "Nothing is created or destroyed - The Law of Conservation of Energy - Many reactions like fires (combustion) gases escape and thus the reactants appear to lose Mass. However, if all gases are collected and weighed the Mass of the Products will equal the mass of the Reactants
What represents the correct way to write a chemical equation reactants--products products equals reactants reactants equals sum sum--- reactants?
reactants ---> products
What represents the correct way to write a chemical equation reactants ----- products products equals reactants reactants equals sum sum ---- reactants?
reactants -----> products is correct
What is the combustions?
The triangle seen in combustion reactions on top of the arrow separating the reactants from the products is the Greek letter delta which means heat is added.
Is always a reactants in a combustion reaction?
Oxygen
