Is burning fuel a useful chemical reaction?

Burning fuel is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light. This energy is commonly used to generate power for transportation, heating, and electricity production. However, burning fuel also produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.


Is a spark a type of reaction?

An electrical spark is not. It is merely electrons flowing and that may cause a reaction. A fire type spark, is not either, but the fire is. A 'spark' that is a slmall ember of burning substance that 'jumps' from a fire is a burning material, so there is a chemical reaction of burning, also called oxidation, going on.

is burning coal also exothermic?

Yes, burning coal is considered an exothermic reaction, meaning it releases heat energy during the combustion process where carbon in coal reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Explanation: Definition of exothermic: A chemical reaction that releases heat energy to the surroundings is called exothermic. Coal combustion: When coal (primarily carbon) burns, it combines with oxygen from the air, forming carbon dioxide and releasing heat as a byproduct. Key points about burning coal: Chemical reaction: C (solid) + O2 (gas) -> CO2 (gas) + heat Heat release: The energy released during this reaction is what makes burning coal an exothermic process.
