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.

Or you may be thinking of an oxidation reaction eg.
2 Cu(s ) + O2(g ) --> 2 CuO(s )

What is the correct skeleton equation for the reaction that takes place when solid phosphorus combines with oxygen gas to form diphoshorus pentoxide?
P4 + 5o2 ---> 2p2o5
Inside a flashbulb oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium When the flashbulb is set off a chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide?
2Mg + O2 2MgO + Energy
What takes place when minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering?
The oxygen in the air combines with the minerals and the rocks change because the minerals are oxidizing. Oxidation can cause new chemical compounds such as iron oxide to form in the rocks.
What is the only process that puts carbon into the atmosphere?
The process in chemical term called oxidization when atoms of carbon reacts with oxygen and creates carbon dioxide. This takes place with the generation of heat. Chemical reaction can be simply described as: C + O2 = CO2 + Q^ This process takes place when we burn coal, gas, gasoline and other sorts of fuels that mainly contains carbon.
Why is the change from iron to rust considered a chemical change?
The reason that rust is considered a chemical change is because the "connections" or the bonds of atoms are changed in the process. When atoms "rearrange themselves" by changing the "connections" or bonds to allow different compounds to be formed, as is the case with the formation of rust, a chemical change has taken place. In iron, the iron atoms are arranged in a metallic crystalline matrix. When rust occurs, oxygen bonds to the iron atoms (which where not chemically bonded to anything before) to create an oxide of iron.
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 is the rapid burning of fuels that takes place in engines is called?
The reaction between oxygen and another substance is called oxidation, such as the formation of rust. The rapid oxidation of fuel is called combustion.
What other substance is needed for respiration to take place?
glucose and oxygen
Anaerobic process takes place in the absence of what?
oxygen
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
What does aerobic process require in order to take place?
oxygen
What two substances are needed for respiration to take place?
The oxygen in the uvula first combines with the red blood cells and the co2 combines with the whit blood cells
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.
