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 is the reactant compound in all combustion reactions?
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 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.
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.

The ocean helps absorb?
heat and air (oxygen, carbon dioxide)
Fossil fuel oxygen gas water heat?
carbon dioxide

When carbon burns in air carbon dioxide is formed what type of reaction is this a combination reaction?
Yes. Any "burning" process is called combustion or "oxidation" as every substance burns only in the presence of oxygen and as oxygen is being "added" i.e., it is on the reactant side, it is termed as oxidation.
