It is a combustion reaction, which is a type of redox reaction.
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.
A Combustion reaction. It usually happens between a gas and oxygen. The products are CO2 and H2O.
Oxidation. At high temperature magnesium ignites - and that is called combustion.
Respiration involves reaction between oxygen and glucose. This is what forms carbon dioxide.
the reaction of butane with oxygen
A rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel is called combustion.
It is a combustion reaction, which is a type of redox reaction.
Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.
Combustion
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.
the reaction with butane is a combustion reaction producing CO2 and H2O as the products 2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 +10H2O However as copper burns in oxygen gas to form the oxide some people might say that that "combusted" - but of course no CO2 is produced.

The chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances is called oxidation.
The balanced equation for the reaction is 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 -> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O. This shows that 13 moles of diatomic oxygen are required to burn 2 moles of butane. By proportionality, (4.8/2)13 or 31.2 moles of oxygen are required to burn 4.8 moles of butane. This corresponds to 31.2(32) or 1.0 X 103 grams of oxygen.
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
