a.combustion refers to the burning of the substance in the presence of oxygen
ch4+2O2=co2+h2o+heat
b.the reaction in which one or more hydrogen of a hydrocarbon are replaced by some other atoms is called substitution reaction
ch4+cl2=ch3cl+HCl
c.addition of oxygen to any substance is known as oxidation.
ch3ch2oh+2o=ch3cooh+h2o
d.esterification reaction refers to the reaction of carboxylic acid with an alcohol.
ch3ch2oh+ch3cooh=ch3cooch3ch2+h2o
e.the reaction which involves the addition of two reactants to form a single product is called addition reaction
c2h4+h2=c2h6
