                                             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.

Welcom to AmSkul Science 2018-19!!

Welcome! This is a blog for my science students to post their research, their projects, their interesting findings. We want to try to collaborate with the greater scientific community and share some of what we have found on topics we cover in class. Happy to have you here with us! Feel free to comment and add questions so we can continue to collaborate and come to a greater understanding of the world together. -Ms. Maiya

Combustion Reactions:

Reactants: CH 4 + 2O 2                                         Hydrocarbon + Oxygen Products: CO 2 + 2H 2 O                         Carbon dioxide + water Combustion reactions also more commonly known as burning, is a reaction when hydrocarbons react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. This reaction requires starting energy such as a spark or a flame to get it going. Combustion is an exothermic reaction which means that it releases heat in the process of reacting. Combustion can be categorized as either complete combustion or either incomplete combustion. Complete combustion is when all of the reactants react and there is no more reacta...
