Question

Define combustion reaction.

Answer 1

Combustion reaction

When two or multiple reactants combine together to generate a single product, the reactions are called combustion reactions. Combination reactions are also termed synthesis reactions.

Example of combination reaction:

Hydrogen (H) combines with Chlorine (Cl) to form Hydrogen chloride (HCl) and its chemical equation is given below:

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to 2\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{g}\right) \\ \mathrm{Hydrogen}\mathrm{Chlorine}\mathrm{Hydrogen}\mathrm{chloride} \end{gathered}$$
