What is the product of combustion?

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.


Is respiration a combustion reaction?

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 substance burn in air what does it produce?

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.

What is the common product of a reaction between oxygen and a fuel?

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.
