What are some examples of combustion reactions?

Answer 1

Combustion is a rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light.

Example - A forest fire

Equation example:

CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O

Answer 2

1. Burning of wood: Wood reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat.
2. Rusting of iron: Iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust) in the presence of moisture.
3. Combustion of methane: Methane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor, releasing heat energy.

Answer 3

The classic example of combustion is fire - a fuel (wood, paper, etc) being ignited by a heat source (a burning match, for example). Combustion is generally defined as anything that is in the act of burning. The engine of your car uses internal combustion in the form of a gasoline-air mixture being ignited by heat caused by a spark. A diesel engine uses internal combustion in the form of a diesel-air mixture ignited by heat caused by high compression (whenever any substance, particularly air, is compressed, heat is a by-product).

Answer 4

Spontaneous Combustion, otherwise known as fire.

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

Na + H2O(warm) --> NaOH + H2

Answer 5

One example of a combustion reaction is the burning of coal. Coal's main ingredient is carbon. Carbon combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.

Answer 6

A combustion reaction involves carbon fuel reacting with oxygen generating water and carbon dioxide. The balanced combustion reaction of methane is:CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2H20

Answer 7

Burning of coal or natural gas for power plants. Burning of gasoline, diesel, and kerosene in internal combustion and jet engines.

Answer 8

methane is burned in air. CH4 + 2O2 ----> 2H2O + CO2. It will ALWAYS make Water and Carbon Dioxide.

Answer 9

burning of fuel

Answer 10

CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
