The reactant that absorbs heat in a combustion reaction is typically oxygen, not carbon dioxide. Oxygen acts as an oxidizing agent, combining with the fuel to release energy in the form of heat. Carbon dioxide is one of the products of the combustion reaction.

Why is fire chemical change'?

Fire is Combustion, in which your reactant is reacted with oxygen and heat to form carbon dioxide and water, so you turn your reactant into a product this is a chemical change.


What type of reaction is usually involves a reactant that contains carbon and produces heat and light?

A combustion reaction typically involves a reactant containing carbon and produces heat and light as it reacts with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.


What key feature must a chemical equation have for it to be classified as a combustion reaction?

The product must be oxidized, i.e, Oxygen must be on the reactant side. Also, the reactant will form its oxide and also liberate heat energy. In case of hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide, water and heat energy will be liberated and it is a must when writing the chemical equation.


How can a tree prevent global warming?

It converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide traps heat so when the trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, it not only reduce the amount of heat by a bit but also give us oxygen to breathe in.


When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?

When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.


What happen when oxygen combines with a hydrocarbon to form water and carbon dioxide?

It reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.


Does carbon dioxide extinguish fires?

Yes, carbon dioxide can extinguish fires by displacing oxygen and removing heat from the fire.

How is oxygen and carbon dioxide made?

WARNING: Do this over a sink because it may get messy. Pour baking soda into a container (any type would be fine) and then pour vinegar SLOWLY. The container would start to bubble up very quickly. Then, quickly pour the bubbles into another container, but do NOT touch the lid. VOILA a container of carbon dioxide.


Will the carbon burn?

Yes, carbon can burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and release energy in the form of heat and light.


What is the reactant compound in all combustion reactions?

Oxygen is the reactant compound in all combustion reactions. It serves as the oxidizing agent that combines with the fuel (hydrocarbons) to produce heat, light, and products like carbon dioxide and water.
