​

Answer 1

Answer:

Combustion Reactions:

When Carbon and its compounds burn in the presence of Oxygen (or air), they give CO2, heat and light.The process of burning carbon and its compounds in excess of oxygen for the release of heat and light (energy) is known as combustion.

Following are some of the examples of the combustion reaction of organic compounds:

C + O2 ⇨ CO2 + Heat + Light

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O.+ Heat + Light

(C3H8 is the molecular formula for Propane, a common gas present in LPG which we burn for cooking in our kitchens).

In General, saturated hydrocarbons burn with a clear blue flame, whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons burn with a yellow flame producing soot (carbon).
