Is a spark a type of reaction?
An electrical spark is not. It is merely electrons flowing and that may cause a reaction. A fire type spark, is not either, but the fire is. A 'spark' that is a slmall ember of burning substance that 'jumps' from a fire is a burning material, so there is a chemical reaction of burning, also called oxidation, going on.
What type of reaction takes place when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in air?
Rapid oxidization.
Is burning wood a chemicial reaction?
YES Burning results in a chemical reaction. Heat is given off when oxygen in the air combines with the elements of the burning substance while producing carbon dioxide or other gases and residual compounds.
The type of chemical reaction that occurs whenever a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen?
It depends upon what you mean. H2O contains oxygen and alkali metals react explosively with it. Also, burning is formally called oxidation. Both happen rapidly and I hope I answered your intended question.
Why is mg ribbon cleaned to use of sand paper before burning?
Magnesium ribbon is cleaned with the sand paper before use because its surface is covered with certain type of grease, in the presence of which the Mg cannot work proper and faster.

Type fire disscess breifly?
Fire can be described as an event where something is burning.
Is oxidation-reduction the reaction that burning wood in a fireplace generate heat and light in the form of flames?
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
If a can of paint were burning which type of fire extinguisher should be used?
type B
Combustion is type of dissolution?
Combustion (burning) is a reaction with oxygen (oxydation).
What type of chemical reaction is a flaming flask?
This is an example of hydrogen burning.
If fire turns into water what type of reaction is that?
it is magic
You fire extinguisher is labeled b1 what type of fire will be put out with this extinguisher?
It will put out burning fluids.
Is exothermic reaction an example of photosynthesis?
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat or light energy is released. An example of this type of reaction is burning a candle.
