Question

explain combusion reaction with example

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical reactions are very common. A chemical reaction is any process by which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different substances. There are numerous types of chemical reactions

combustion of methane

CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)

burning of naphthalene

C10H8 + 12 O2 → 10 CO2 + 4 H2O

combustion of ethane

2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O

combustion of butane (commonly found in lighters)

2C4H10(g) +13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) +10H2O(g)

combustion of methanol (also known as wood alcohol)

2CH3OH(g) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

combustion of propane (used in gas grills and fireplaces)

2C3H8(g) + 7O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 8H2O(g)

Explanation:

Answer 2

A combustion reaction is a major class of chemical reactions, commonly referred to as "burning." Combustion usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Combustion doesn't always result in fire, but when it does, a flame is a characteristic indicator of the reaction.

Hydrocarbon + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Heat Energy

Examples of Combustion

Burning of Wood or Coal to heat your home

Burning of Petrol or Diesel to run your Car

Combustion of Natural Gas or LPG to cook for on your stovetop

For the production of energy in thermal power plants
