The type of chemical reaction that occurs whenever a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen?

It depends upon what you mean. H2O contains oxygen and alkali metals react explosively with it. Also, burning is formally called oxidation. Both happen rapidly and I hope I answered your intended question.

Are substrate and catalyse the same thing?
No! A substrate is a reagent in a chemical reaction. Catalyse is the verb form of catalyst; a catalyst is a chemical species that participates in lowering the energy barrier of a chemical reaction and allow a reaction to occur more rapidly. A catalyst is not consumed in a reaction and therefore only a small amount of catalyst is required in any reaction (if required at all), whereas a substrate must be present in the proper stoichiometric amount to allow a reaction to proceed as it is consumed.
Why does hot water increase the rate of reaction?
In order for a chemical reaction to occur, there must be a certain amount of energy to break, and then reform chemical bonds. The collision of particles must also occur at the correct angle for a chemical reaction to occur. Heat is essentially the energy a substance has, so the higher the temperature, the higher the energy of of the particles. If the particles have a higher energy, they move around faster, therefore increasing the probability of a successful collision. The energy (or velocity) of particles is also higher, therefore creating higher chance that there is enough energy in the chemical collision for the reaction to occur.
How much does it cost to use chemical energy?
There is no fixed cost. It depends on a wide variety of factors. What chemical energy. How rapidly Where Under what conditions Etc.
Why does water turn to steam when it is heated to 100⁰c?
This happens because the liquid particles of the water react to the heat. The particles start to move and bounce about rapidly, causing the water to condense and turn to vapour(which is steam). This is a great example of the chemical reaction of liquid->gas.
What causes a substance to heat up?
Within a particular substance, depending on its atomic structure and properties, particles are closely packed, which they rapidly vibrate. Other factors that could heat a substance are like fire, electric current and many different things.
What reaction in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen often produces heat and light?
A combustion reaction.
What is the rapid burning of fuels that takes place in engines is called?
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
What four factors affect how rapidly chemical reaction takes place?
Four factors are:- temperature- pressure- catalysts- stirring
How a catalyst effects chemical reaction?
Catalysts allow chemical changes to occur much more rapidly. Reactions that usually take years can happen before your eyes in seconds. From my understanding there is no 100% agreed upon reason for how they do this. There are a number of widely regarded theories though.
What is product in a chemical reaction?
what substance you get when you're done with the chemical change.ex: match+lighter=reactants. when you mix those a certain way, you get a light!
Explain why flammability and combustibility are chemical properties?
"A chemical property is the property of a substance that describes it's ability to undergo changes to its composition to produce one ore more NEW substance." - Nelson Science Peerspectives Textbook If you decide to toss your jeans into the fire they will burn causing a new substance we commonly know as ashes. So this means that the jeans had a chemical property, combustibility or flammability, that changed its compostion to produce a new substance. Making the properties, combustibility and flammability, both chemical properties.

Can you identify carbon dioxide or hydogen gases in a chemical reaction by their color or odor if not what else can we do?
carbon dioxide will extinguish a flaming splint, hydrogen will burn rapidly
What chemical properties would you expect caesium to have?
Caesium is freshly cut, it have a metallic shine, but this disappears rapidly due to reaction of exposed metal surface with oxygen in the air
Is lighting a Bunsen burner a chemical reaction?
Yes, because a gas is burned - an oxydation reaction. This chemical reaction produces heat as well as carbon dioxide and water vapor as products from methane and oxygen gas. The heat also excites the electrons in the gases it produces, causing them to gain energy and rapidly emit this energy in the form of photons predominately with a wavelength of approximately 475 nm, which we perceive as blue light. The reaction can be described by the following equation: CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) => CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)
What type of reaction happens when potassium is placed in water?
Usually an explosion; the chemical reaction is 2 K + 2 H2O = 2 KOH + H2. Unless oxygen is excluded, the reaction generates so much heat that the evolved hydrogen gas burns rapidly enough to cause an explosion.
