II. Define these terms:
1. Combustion
2. Ignition temperature
3. Calorific value of a fuel
Answers
Answer:
- Combustion is an oxidation reaction. For the reaction to take place, a fuel and an oxidant should be there. Substances undergoing the combustion are known as fuels whereas in burning oxygen combines with another molecule to produce an oxide.
- The lowest temperature at which a substance catches fire and undergoes combustion liberating heat and light is called ignition temperature.
- Calorific value is basically a measurement of energy or heat released (kJ or kcal) when 1kg of coal is completely combusted in the presence of air or oxygen.

II. Define these terms:
1. Combustion
2. Ignition temperature
3. Calorific value of a fuel
Answer ⤵️
1) Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
2) Ignition Temperature
Ignition temperature is an important property of any fuel because the combustion reaction of the fuel becomes self-sustaining only above this temperature.
3) 3 Calorific value. The calorific value of a fuel is the number of heat units evolved when unit mass (or unit volume in the case of a gas) of a fuel is completely burned and the combustion products are cooled to 298 K.
