Combustion, burning, or oxidation all refer to this process (some more precisely than others -- for instance oxidation can include other things than oxygen). Combustion is generally the commonly used technical term.

What takes place when minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering?

When minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering, they undergo a process where the minerals react with oxygen and water to form new minerals. This process can lead to the breakdown of the original rock minerals, resulting in the weakening and alteration of the rock structure over time.


What two processes take place during the oxygen cycle?

The two main processes in the oxygen cycle are photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and phytoplankton produce oxygen using sunlight and carbon dioxide, while respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down organic molecules for energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct.


When gasoline burns it changes from gasoline to what?

If full combustion takes place, the products are CO2 and H2O.


Which type of respiration takes place where there is no oxygen present?

Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and produces energy without the need for oxygen. However, it typically generates less energy compared to aerobic respiration.


The place where oxygen enters the blood?

Oxygen enters the blood through the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs during the process of respiration. This occurs through a process called diffusion, where oxygen moves from an area of high concentration in the alveoli to an area of lower concentration in the blood vessels surrounding the alveoli.

A gas given off when burning takes place?

During the burning process, oxygen combines with carbon to produce carbon dioxide.


Why is surface area important to burning?

Burning is a chemical process - oxidation - that usually takes place where oxygen from the air reacts with the substance that is burning. The surface area determines how much oxygen is in contact with the substance.


What substance is the byproduct for this process?

The byproduct of a process depends on the specific reaction or operation taking place. Additional details would be needed in order to provide a more precise answer.


What three elements are necessary for combution to take place?

The three elements necessary for combustion to take place are fuel, oxygen, and heat. Fuel provides the substance to burn, oxygen is needed for the reaction to occur, and heat is necessary to initiate the combustion process.


What other substance is needed for respiration to take place?

glucose and oxygen


What conditions under combustion can take place?

Combustion can take place under conditions of sufficient heat (ignition temperature), fuel, and oxygen. The heat initiates the reaction, fuel provides the substance to burn, and oxygen serves as the oxidizing agent. These conditions are necessary to sustain the combustion process.


What is the chemical reaction that takes place when oxygen combines with a combustible at a suitably high temperature?

The reaction is usually considered an oxidation-reduction reaction, and that's what we see in combustion, or fire. In a fire, fuel is combusted, and the fuel is oxidized in the process.


When fermentation take place without oxygen?

no, aerobic means a process that requires oxygen. a process that doesn't require oxygen is called anaerobic.


When does respiration take place in animals?

Respiration is when oxygen combines with sugar to break down the sugar.


What process takes place at the capillaries and how are capillaries suited for this process?

exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries


How oxygen is needed for rusting and decaying to take place?

Oxygen is a very important agent needed for rusting and decaying to take place. Oxygen binds with the surface and creates water while breaking down the substance.


What is anaerobic digestion process?

This is a digestion process in the absence of oxygen. This process however do not take place in the living body.
