Combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either glowing or a flame. Most fuels of interest are organic compounds (especially hydrocarbon) in the gas, liquid or solid phase.
In a complete combustion reaction, a compound reacts with an oxidizing element, such as oxygen or fluorine, and the products are compounds of each element in the fuel with the oxidizing element. For example:CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O + energyCH2S + 6F2 → CF4 + 2HF + SF6
A simpler example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen, which is a commonly used reaction in rocket engines:2H2 + O2 → 2H2O(g) + heat
The result is water vapor.
In the large majority of industrial applications of combustion and in fires, air is the source of oxygen (O2). In air, each kg (lbm) of oxygen is mixed with approximately 3.76 kg (lbm) of nitrogen. The resultant flue gas from the combustion will contain nitrogen:CH4 + 2O2 + 7.52N2 → CO2 + 2H2O + 7.52N2 + heat
Combustion is a hemical reaction.
Combustion is a an oxydation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.
A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
Combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.

combustion reaction!
a combustion reaction is when you bust a comtion:P lol jokes Anytime anything burns is a combustion reaction
Yes, combustion is an example of an exergonic reaction. During combustion, energy is released- making it an exergonic reaction.
A combustion reaction. It's not a combustion reaction, it's a COMBINATION reaction Example 3 Fe + 2 O2 ----------> Fe3O4
A combustion reaction
The reaction between C3H8 (propane) and O2 (oxygen) to form CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) is a combustion reaction. This type of reaction involves the rapid reaction of a substance with oxygen, usually producing heat and light.
A combustion reaction is a reaction that burns. The equation that represents a combustion reaction is CH4 + 2O2 reacts to yield CO2 + 2H2O.
