Did you mean combustion?

Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.

Was there evidence to prove the phlogiston theory correct?

The phlogiston theory was widely held in the 17th and 18th centuries to explain combustion and oxidation. However, it was eventually disproven with the discovery of oxygen by Lavoisier. This discovery provided a more accurate explanation for the process of combustion.

Is the burning of petrol in cars an example of complete combustion or incomplete combustion Explain?

The burning of petrol in cars is typically an example of complete combustion where petrol (hydrocarbon) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. However, in some cases, incomplete combustion can occur, leading to the production of carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and unburnt hydrocarbons due to insufficient oxygen supply or improper engine functioning.


Explain why complete combustion is desirable?

The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.

Why did some scientists disagree with the phlogiston theory?

Some scientists disagreed with the phlogiston theory because it could not explain all the observations, such as the weight changes in substances during combustion. Additionally, the discovery of oxygen and its role in combustion provided a more accurate explanation for the phenomena previously attributed to phlogiston.
