Oxidation is the rapid reaction of any substance with oxygen. This process often results in the formation of new compounds and release of energy in the form of heat and light.
Yes. Any "burning" process is called combustion or "oxidation" as every substance burns only in the presence of oxygen and as oxygen is being "added" i.e., it is on the reactant side, it is termed as oxidation.
Yes, it is purely chemical.To put it simply:carbohydrates (in body) with oxygen (inhaled) become carbon dioxide (exhaled) and water (exhaled and excreated). These are all different chemical substances, so this is a chemical change.(There are also other types of respiration, even without oxygen, but they all are chemical!)
When fuel is burned in oxygen, this is called combustion. Depending on the fuel used, the chemical reaction will be different. Taking propane gas, as an example: CH3CH2CH3 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O All combustion reactions of fuel will result in CO2 and H2O.
A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction is known as a CATALYST.
This is a chemical change, like any other burning reaction: magnesium is turned into magnesium oxide by burning reaction with oxygen (from air). 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
Fire is not an alkane or any substance in particular. Fire is a reaction between a flammable substance and an oxygen. All alkanes are flammable, but there are other flammable substances as well.

Oxygen is an element, not a reaction of any form.
The product of combustion is typically carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), and heat. These are formed when a substance undergoes a combustion reaction, which involves a rapid chemical combination with oxygen.

When a substance burns in air, it typically produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, along with any other byproducts specific to the substance being burned. The reaction of the substance with oxygen in the air releases energy in the form of heat and light.
Any rxn that is (generally) and organic molecule + O2 -> H2O + CO2 Thats just generally what it looks like.
Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.
When fuel is burned in oxygen, this is called combustion. Depending on the fuel used, the chemical reaction will be different. Taking propane gas, as an example: CH3CH2CH3 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O All combustion reactions of fuel will result in CO2 and H2O.
Any chemical reaction produce a new substance.
