Hydrocarbons (which are only hydrogen and carbon) require oxygen to combust, and they form water and carbon dioxide. So a general formula might look something like this:
CnHm + (m/4 + n)O2 → (m/2)H2O + nCO2
where n is the number of carbons in the hydrocarbon and m is the number of hydrogens. In hydrocarbon equations, it's very possible to have a fraction for the oxygen. Combustion reactions are one of few reactions where it's acceptable to do this. However, some teachers may still ask you to get rid of the fraction. To do this, multiply each compound's coefficient by two (or whatever the denominator is in oxygen's coefficient, but it will rarely be anything but two because the number of hydrogens, m, will almost always be even).
Reactant + Oxygen ----> Oxide(s) + heat
Above is a general formula for a combustion reaction. Every combustion reaction gives off energy. Depending on the reactants the oxide is formed.
For example, if we burn only Carbon containing coal, the product is Carbon dioxide :
C + O2 ----> CO2
If we burn Carbohydrates or Hydrocarbons, along with carbon dioxide, water is formed :
C2H6 + 4 O2 ----> 2 CO2 + 2 H2O
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ----> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
Depending on metal or non-metal burnt, products are also different :
2 Mg + O2 ----> 2 MgO
4 Na + O2 ----> 2 Na2O
S + O2 ----> SO2
4 P + 5 O2 ----> 2 P2O5
A chemical equation is defined as the short-hand representation of a true chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formula.the word and balanced chemical equation for combustion of methane is given as .methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energyCH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
HYDROCARBON + OXYGENÜ CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER
The chemical equation is the word expression of a chemical reaction.The rate of reaction give information about the speed of this reaction.
ATPase
If 2 or more reactants produce a single product, then a synthesis reaction has occured.
combustion
S + o2 = so2

i have no idea mate
C+ o2 = co2
combustion? :)
The general word equation for salt formation by neutralization is acid + base.
it is a combustion. the word equation would be: sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide the balanced chemical equation: S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)
hydrocarbon + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water
HYDROCARBON + OXYGENÜ CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER
The chemical equation is the word expression of a chemical reaction.The rate of reaction give information about the speed of this reaction.
Fuel+oxygen --> carbon dioxide+water
