Best Answer

All combustion reactions are exothermic; that is, they release heat to their surroundings. The reason for this: a certain amount of energy is released when the chemical bonds holding the fuel together break. Some of this energy is used to form the products of combustion, which are generally water vapor and carbon dioxide. However, this recombination doesn't use up all of the energy, so the excess gets passed along to the environment, which registers as a release of heat and light.

Vicosity increases as temperature increases?

"Viscosity" is basically a resistance to flow. Viscosity is inversly proportional to Temperature. For example, high viscous heavy fuel is heated to right temperature to lower its viscosity for proper combustion in diesel engines or boiler.


When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?

Temperature increases as pressure increases.


What will happen to gas pressure when the volume is decreased?

When the temperature of a gas is increased at a constant pressure, its volume increases. When the temperature of a gas is devreased at constnt pressure, its volume decreases.
