The enthalpy of combustion is determined by calorimetry.
Reaction of combustion of methane will give off lot of energy. In any combustion reaction there will always be formation of water vapor and heat. Methane + oxygen = combustion reaction.
The combustion of methanol to form products of H2O and CO2 do not have as much of an energy change compared to methane and a result methanol releases less energy compared to methane. The more negative an enthalpy change is, the more heat it is going to release.
Methane is the IUPAC name for the main constituent in natural gas (CH4). Methane stores energy in the C-H chemical bonds and this stored energy is readily released as heat through a chemical process known as combustion (burning) which is a largely exergonic reaction.
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + 802 kJ/mol
LPG undergoes complete combustion on burning and produces high amount of energy, but not wood
Methane plus oxygen produces water and carbon dioxide, plus energy.

Exothermic chemical reactions release energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. A common example would be the combustion (oxidation) of methane*:Methane: CH4 + 2O2 -----> CO2 + 2H2O + Energy (heat and light)* The combustion of methane (natural gas) is commonly used to heat water, cook, and to heat homes.
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + Energy (Heat) Methane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water and Energy (Heat)
Carbon dioxide
Chemical reactions that produce heat (or energy) are known as Exothermic Reactions. (Example: combustion of fuels)
Typically nuclear reactions produce large amounts of energy.
The combustion of methanol to form products of H2O and CO2 do not have as much of an energy change compared to methane and a result methanol releases less energy compared to methane. The more negative an enthalpy change is, the more heat it is going to release.
Through combustion they produce heat.
No. The sun does not carry out combustion. It is powered by nuclear fusion, which produces much more energy.
Yes, combustion is an example of an exergonic reaction. During combustion, energy is released- making it an exergonic reaction.
