reaction
in
which
a

with
oxygen
to
give
off
heat
What is the substance that undergoes combustion called:
Combustible
Ignition point
: Lowest temperature at which a substance catches
fire
Combustion is an
exothermic
reaction
Complete combustion: Hydrocarbon(fuel) +
Oxygen
->
carbon
dioxide
+
water
Incomplete Combustion: Hydrocarbon(fuel) +
oxygen
->
Carbon
+
Water
+
Carbon monoxide
Incomplete combustion occurs when a combustion reaction does not have enough supply of
oxygen
Alkane- Hydrocarbons
with a
