What is combustion ? What are the necessary conditions for combustion process ? Which element is necessary for combustion or respiration ?
Answers
In ordinary combustion, the hydrocarbon is deliberately heated to its ignition point to make it burn. During this process, many hydrocarbons undergo slow oxidation that, like the rapid oxidation of burning, releases heat.
Answer:
Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
Three things are required in proper combination before ignition and combustion can take place- Heat, Oxygen and fuel. There must be Air to supply oxygen. There must be heat (ignition temperature) to start and continue the combination process.
Oxygen is the element which ie necessary for combustion or respiration.
