Combustion reactions cannot be reversed they are?

Combustion reactions are typically irreversible because they involve the rapid oxidation of a substance accompanied by the release of heat and light energy. The products formed during combustion reactions are usually more stable than the reactants, making it difficult to reverse the reaction entirely.


What are the three different one-word names given to the chemical reactions in which fuels react with oxygen?

corrosion is one, oxygen and accetelyne are all oxidation reactions of chemiacals


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.


Is combustion a form of oxidation or reduction?

In all Redox reactions some things are oxidized (meaning those elements lose electrons) and some things are reduced (meaning those elements gain electrons). The phrase to remember is OIL RIG - Oxidation Is Losing Reduction Is Gaining.


What kind of reactions does oxygen take part?

Oxygen can take part in a variety of reactions, such as combustion (burning), oxidation reactions, and reactions in biological processes like respiration. It is a highly reactive element that readily participates in chemical reactions.

What is the difference between combustion and ignition?

combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas while oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or with an element the loss of electron from an atom or ion is also oxidation but it is not the combustion.all oxidizing reactions are not combustion reaction.....but all combustion reactions are oxidizing..oxidation reaction does not involve heat.....combustion reactions involve heat....
