In UV-light oxygen is given off as follows:

2 KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2+O2

If you heat up potassium permangenate extremely, oxygen is given off according to:

4KMnO4 --> 2K2O + 4MnO2 + 3O2

What is the name given to the chemical reaction that result in fire?

Fire(Burning) is a chemical change. Once you burn a log, you won't get the log back, that's how it's a chemical change. Also, Fire needs Oxygen (O2) to burn and stay alive but with too much Carbon Dioxide (CO2) it will die out.


What causes ignition when water reacts with potassium?

The reaction of potassium with water is highly exothermic. That is, it gives off a lot of heat. Hydrogen, which is formed by the chemical reaction is ignited by this heat and so explodes.


Why does wood burn or combust?

Wood burns or combusts due to a chemical reaction called combustion, which occurs when oxygen molecules in the air react with the wood. The heat from an external heat source or initial flame breaks down the wood's chemical structure, releasing volatile gases. These gases then combine with oxygen in the air, producing heat and light as they release energy.
