Every combustion reaction we deal with produces gas with oxygen in the product, so O2 (oxygen gas) must be a reactant.

For example, methane reacts with Oxygen in this way:

CH4(l) + O2(g) -> C02(g)+2H2(g)

Note O2 in gaseous form as a reactant.

How do you write equations of combustion?

Combustion reactions always have O2 as a reactant. The other reactant is the thing being burned. If the thing being burned is a hydrocarbon, the products will be water and carbon dioxide.


Can MgSO4 Ba BaSO4 Mg be a combustion reaction?

Assuming you have given a complete equation, no. It requires oxygen as a reactant and will always have CO2 and H2O as products. Plus, combustion reactions typically involve carbon based elements as reactants.

What happens to a chemical reaction when the limiting reactant is completely used up?

Limiting reactant is the one that limits the rate of the reaction. It is always supplied in adequate amount so that there is enough for the reaction to carry out to obtain the desired products. under ideal cases, When the reaction reaches completion there will be no limiting reactant.

What happens when carbon dioxide gas in a reaction?

When carbon dioxide gas is involved in a reaction, it can act as a reactant, product, or catalyst. It can participate in reactions such as combustion where it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and heat. In other cases, it can act as a catalyst in reactions like the synthesis of urea.


will a catalyst change the enthalpy of a reaction in a chemical reaction?

No, a catalyst will not change reaction enthalpy. If it does so, then it is NOT a catalyst but a reactant in stead!


A combustion reaction will always involve the release of?

A combustion reaction will always involve the release of heat and light energy as it involves the rapid chemical combination of a fuel with oxygen in the form of a flame.
