Question

Give one word/ a few words for each of the following.

Any one equation of burning of fuel.

Answer 1

A combustion reaction is a chemical process or a reaction between Fuel (Hydrocarbon) and Oxygen. When fuel and oxygen react it releases heat and light energy.

• Heat and light energy then result in the flame.
• Therefore it is the type of exothermic reaction.
• The burning of fuel is a type of combustion reaction.
• An equation for burning of fuel is,

$\underset{\mathrm{Methane}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_4\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Oxygen}}{2{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{water}}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
