When is oxidation not combustion?

Combustion is a type of oxidation; combustion is the reaction of organic materials when the products are carbon dioxide and water.


What is the meaning of incineration?

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials. This process converts waste into ash, flue gas, and heat. It is used to reduce waste volume, generate energy, and eliminate hazardous components.


Is the forest fire is a chemical or physical changes?

A forest fire involves primarily a chemical change, as the combustion of organic materials (such as trees and plants) results in the release of heat, light, and gases. The transformation of these materials into ash and smoke is a chemical process.


Is composting is a form of combustion?

No, composting is not a form of combustion. Composting is a natural process where organic materials break down into nutrient-rich soil through the action of microorganisms, whereas combustion is a chemical reaction that involves burning and the release of heat and light.


What reacts with oxygen to cause combustion?

a hydrocarbon


Which type of waste treatment allows organic materials to decompose naturally?

Composting


Is burning trash chemical reaction?

Yes, burning trash is a chemical reaction because it involves the combustion of organic materials releasing heat, light, and various chemical byproducts such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash.


Does combustion only happen to alkanes?

No, combustion can occur with any organic compound that contains carbon and hydrogen, not just alkanes. Combustion is a chemical reaction that involves the rapid oxidation of a material typically with the release of heat and light.


What is an organic sedimentary rock formed from plant materials that is used primarily to generate electricity?

Coal is an organic sedimentary rock formed from plant materials, used primarily to generate electricity through combustion.


Why do organic materials burn but not non organic?

organic material burns as it is carbon based. non-organis materials ccontain carbon, but because of the inter molecular structure between each compound is bonded differently it doesn't burn aswell.


What gas is given off during combustion that puts out flames?

hydrogen ------- During the burning of organic materials carbon dioxide is released.


What are the differences between combustion and gasification?

As with incineration, pyrolysis, gasification and plasma treatment of waste are thermal processes in which waste is exposed to high temperatures. However, the essential difference between combustion and pyrolysis technologies (MATRIX, gasification, plasma treatment) is that no oxygen is used during the pyrolysis at all, and therefore no oxidation takes place: substances are not burnt but rather "melted".
