Explain a Combustion Reaction Combustion Reactions
What is Combustion Reaction? Chemical reaction that involves oxygen and produces energy so rapidly that flames are created.
What are some real-life examples of combustion reactions? • When people are or a candle. • Or burn wood to make a fire.
How are combustion reactions used in our daily lives? • People use fire everyday to • People burning paper. • Burning trash
How could you describe a combustion reaction to someone who didn't have chemistry a very good background in? • Is a reaction in which oxygen reacts with another element or compound (generally a hydrocarbon) to produce energy in the form of heat and light. • When organic molecules combust the reaction products are carbon dioxide and water.
2 Types of Chemical Reactions!!! • Complete • Clean combustion with a hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water • Incomplete • Dirty combustion with a hydrocarbon produces carbon or carbon monoxide also carbon dioxide.
