Answer:
What is a combustion reaction?
Combustion is another word for burning. In a combustion reaction, a fuel is heated and it reacts with oxygen.
The fire triangle summarises the three things needed for combustion - a fuel, heat and oxygen. If one of these things is removed from a fire, the fire goes out.
When fuels burn in combustion reactions, they release useful thermal energy (heat). Combustion reactions are used to heat our homes, power most cars, and to generate a lot of our electricity.
