Answer:
Explanation:
Combustion means the process by which the burning of any substance, whether gaseous, liquid or solid, occurs. In this process, the fuel oxidizes and gives off heat, and, frequently, light.
Combustion reactions are reactions where oxygen intervenes as a reagent. Oxygen has the ability to combine with various elements to produce oxides, where then oxidation is the combination of oxygen with another substance. There are oxidations that are extremely slow, but when oxidation is rapid it is called combustion.
When a substance containing carbon and hydrogen (a hydrocarbon) undergoes complete combustion, or burning, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced, and water. Incomplete combustion can also occur when part of the fuel does not react completely because oxygen is not enough.
