A combustion reaction usually happens when a hydrocarbon is reacted with an oxygen molecule producing water and carbon dioxide. It is an exothermic reaction which means it releases heat as the process proceeds. It is a spontaneous process where it readily happens without any supply of energy. The total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the activation energy that is why heat is being released. Acetic acid is a carboxylic acid and is classified as a hydrocarbon so when reacted with oxygen, it would yield carbon dioxide and water. The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows

CH3COOH + 2 O2 = 2 CO2 +2 H2O
Oseni

The equation for the combustion of acetic acid will be:

[tex]CH_3COOH+2O_2(g) --- > 2CO_2 (g) + 2H_2O(l)[/tex]

Combustion reactions

Combustion reactions are those involving oxygen gas.

When a substance combusts, it means it reacts with oxygen.

In this case, the chemical formula for acetic acid is [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] while that of oxygen is [tex]O_2[/tex].

If acetic acid is burned in oxygen, the balanced equation for the reaction would be:

[tex]CH_3COOH+2O_2(g) --- > 2CO_2 (g) + 2H_2O(l)[/tex]
