How are explosions different from other chemical reactions?
Yes, combustion is a chemical reaction, because it is a reaction between a molecule and oxygen (O2) to produce a new molecule plus CO2 (if it's a complete combustion) or CO (if it is an incomplete combustion). Combustion is also an exothermic reaction, which means that heat is released.
What is a reaction in which a large amount of energy is released?
Typically nuclear reactions produce large amounts of energy.
What causes a dust explosion?
A dust explosion occurs when a flammable substance in powder form suspended in the air ignites and burns rapidly. When a substance is pulverized, the surface area that is directly exposed to the air increases dramatically. This large surface area allows the combustion reaction to occur much more rapdily than would normally be possible, causing an explosion. Substances that can produce dust explosions include sawdust, grain dust, coal dust, starch, flour, and even some metals.
What reactions produce electrons?
Oxidation reaction.
Which nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?
Nuclear fission
A combustion reaction occurs when a substance, usually containing carbon reacts with to produce energy in the form of heat and light?
oxygen
A reaction occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?
This is an oxidation reaction (combustion, burning).

oxygen Wrong! its CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
Explain what is combustion?
Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.
Can a combustion reaction produce hydrogen?
No. If anything, a combustion reaction will consume hydrogen.
Is 2SO2 plus O2 equals 2SO3 a combustion reaction Why or why not?
Not a combustion reaction. Combustion reactions produce CO2 and H2O.
Why is incomplete combustion messy?
A complete combustion reaction will produce CO2 and H2O, while an incomplete combustion reaction produces CO and H2O.
Chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light?
It's called combustion, and it's one of the primary reaction types. Combustion reactions combine a fuel with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Combustion reactions are exothermic, meaning they produce an excess of energy.
A blank reaction occurs when a substance usually contain carbon reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light?
The oxidation is called "combustion" (i.e. burning).
What is called the ability to produce heat and light in a chemical reaction?
Combustion
Are glow sticks an example of a combustion reaction?
No, a combustion reaction is where a chemical reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide and lots of heat. Glow sticks use a a kind of reaction chemiluminescence. The reactions often involve oxygen particularly hydrogen peroxide, but they are not combustion reactions and typically produce little to no heat
Does combustion reactions form precipitates?
a combustion reaction does not produce a precipitate an example is 2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 + 10H2O
