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 else can I help you with?
Are all combustion reactions redox processes?
Yes, all combustion reactions are redox processes.
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 characteristics do all combustion reactions have in common?
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.
What are the 5 types of chemical reactions and the general equations of each type?

Is a combustion of coal an endothermic reaction?
NO ... all burning/combustion reactions are exothermic.
Name the compound that is a reactant in all combustion reactions?
O2
Are all combustion reactions redox processes?
Yes, all combustion reactions are redox processes.

Why concept of limiting reactant is not applied to reversable reactant?
Concept of limiting reactant is not applicable to the reversible reactions because in these reactions all the reactants are converted into products and no reactants remain at the end of the reaction.
What is produced during all combustion reactions?
Carbon dioxide and water are produced during all combustion reactions.
Are combustion reactions exothermic or endothermic?
All combustion is exothermic. ( i love pie)
How many what are oxidation-reduction reactions metal with a nonmetal synthesis combustion precipitation or combustion?
All 4 are considered oxidation-reduction reactions
Are all combustion reactions redox reactions?
Sometimes, as during oxidation reactions oxygen is either added or hydrogen is removed from that particular element or compound undergoing the reaction. Combustion is burning taking place in the presence of oxygen so when the certain substance burns it is having oxygen added to it. Eg. 2Mg + O2 gives 2MgO Here Mg is getting oxidised and combustion is taking place as Mg is being heated in the presence of Oxygen.
Do chemical reactions occur independently of the reactant's temperature?
Almost all chemical reactions are dependant of the temperature that it takes place.
What is difference between hydrogen combustion and compressed natural gas combustion?
All types of combustions are oxidation reactions.
The two by-products of complete combustion are?
In all combustion reactions (other than H2 with O2) CO2(g) and H2O(g) will be produced. CO would NOT be produced, as we are talking about COMPLETE combustion. Why can't the products be in a form of an oxide and a compound gas?
What effect do chemical reactions have on molecules?
At least some, sometimes all, of the bonds in the reactant molecules are broken.
