                                             What is a combustion reaction






A combustion reaction is when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen and creates carbon dioxide and water. The formula for a combustion reaction is Hydrocarbon + Oxygen→ Carbon dioxide + Water. A combustion reaction is a common reaction in chemistry it can also be referred to as burning. A combustion reaction is a exothermic reaction because it is releasing heat or energy.

Some examples of a Combustion reaction are:
  • Combustion reaction of Methane                                                                                                     CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g)→ CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)
  • Combustion reaction of Propane                                                                                                      2 C₃H₈(g) + 7 O₂(g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O(g)                          
  • Combustion reaction of Ethane                                                                                                        2 C₂H₆ + 7 O₂→ 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Isomerization

Research: What are structural Isomers? Online definition:  In chemistry isomerization is the process by which one molecule is transformed into another molecule which has exactly the same atoms, but the atoms have a different arrangement My definition: When the arrangement of a molecule is changed but still has all of the same atoms. (Alkanes) Examples : - Methane - Ethane - Propane  - Butane VIDEO: Constitutional Isomers : Isomers that differ in connectivity Simple hydrocarbons such as; methane, ethane, and propane can not have constitutional isomers because there is no other way to connect them.   There are 2 different butanes that re constitutional isomers.

Combustion Reaction🔥

                                                                                  Reactions Complete Versus Incomplete Combustion  So there is something we call a complete combustion and the other a dirty combustion. Fuel such as petrol or methane, etc can undergo complete or incomplete combustion. When methane completes a complete combustion it produces carbon dioxide and water. When methane goes through an incomplete under a limited amount of air it produces carbon monoxide and water or carbon or water. What is Combustion? There are many types of combustion. But I believe the most known one is the combustion with methane which is the one I put above.  Combustion can also be called burning. Combustion is an exothermic reaction which means it gives out heat. Reaction above is a combustion reaction. This the formula CH4 + 2O4 -----> CO2+ 2H2O * In order to know if a formula is perfectly balanced you need to know that there are the exact number of molecules on the rea
