Combustion is where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Example: methane burning is CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O
Decomposition is where one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
Example: decomp of hydrogen peroxide is 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2

Thermal decomposition. MgCO3(s) ==heat==> MgO + CO2
A closed combustion furnace has a sealed combustion chamber, drawing outside air for combustion and expelling combustion gases outside through a dedicated vent, resulting in higher energy efficiency and indoor air quality. An open combustion furnace draws air from inside the home for combustion and expels gases through a chimney, potentially leading to energy loss and indoor air quality issues.
The flow of carbon between living and nonliving components of ecosystems is primarily driven by processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and combustion. During photosynthesis, plants capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert it into organic matter. This organic matter is then transferred through the food web as animals consume plants and each other. Decomposition releases carbon back into the atmosphere and soil, while combustion of fossil fuels and biomass contributes additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, perpetuating the cycle.
A rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel is called combustion.
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.
All types of combustions are oxidation reactions.
in internal combustion engine combustion happens internally in cylinder and in external combustion engine combustion happens externally in boiler

Natural gas explodes through combustion, not decomposition. When natural gas comes into contact with an ignition source, it mixes with oxygen in the air and rapidly combusts, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.

Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
Acids and bases Combination Combustion Decomposition Precipitation
Neither. It is a combustion reaction.
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
