The important reactant is oxygen.
Oxygen
Hydrocarbon and oxygen
oxygen gas, O2
Hydrocarbon and fuel
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.
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 An example of a common combustion reaction.
The reactants will have one Na, one Cl, one O, and two H atoms
oxygen gas, O2
No, in a combustion reaction carbon is not used to make reactants burn.
Oxygen
A combustion reaction involves the three reactants from the fire triangle, heat, oxygen, and fuel.
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).

A chemical reaction where one of the reactants is O2 and one of the products is water is called a combustion reaction. Combustion reactions generally take the form: __CxHx + __O2 --> __H2O + __CO2 + energy
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
