All combustion reactions involve the rapid combination of a fuel (usually a hydrocarbon) with oxygen gas to produce heat, light, and typically carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. These reactions are exothermic, meaning they release energy in the form of heat.

Which two reactions are also redox reactions combustion and single-replacement combustion and synthesis synthesis and decomposition single-replacement and double-replacement?

Combustion and single-replacement reactions are also redox reactions. In a combustion reaction, a substance combines with oxygen and releases energy. In a single-replacement reaction, one element replaces another in a compound, resulting in a change in oxidation states.


What is the reactant compound in all combustion reactions?

The reactant compound is any hydrocarbon, e.g. Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes. With a suitable activation energy , the above substances will react with oxygen(air) to form water vapour and carbon dioxide, and release useful heat energy in the reaction. A general reaction eq'n is Hydrocarbon + oxygen ==E(a)==> Water(vapour) + Carbon dioxide ( and heat energy). If you mix a hydrocarbon and oxygen together, nothing happens. So you strike a match (heat (Activation (energy (E(a))), to set the reaction going. Then it is 'self-serving; in that the released heat energy keeps the reaction going, until either/or the hydrocarbon or oxygen has run out.


what are characteristics of chemical equation?

All chemical reactions have a common structure. It must have reactants, that are the substances that you have at the beginning, and the product that are the new substances you get at the end.


Does c2h4 plus h20 create a combustion?

The only way C2H4 can combust is in the presence of oxygen. All combustion reactions must contain a hydrocarbon and oxygen.


Why is combustion exothermic reaction?

because during combustion heat energy is released. for example the burning of carbon in air is a combustion reaction but in this process 393.7 K.J/mol energy is released
