Combustion Reaction is a chemical process that involves the rapid reaction between a substance and an oxidant, usually oxygen, to produce heat and light. Combustion reactions are exothermic, meaning they release energy in the form of heat. A common example of a combustion reaction is when methane (CH4) reacts with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), releasing heat and light.
Combustion reactions are important because they are used to generate energy in many different applications, such as power plants, vehicles, and home heating systems. They are also used in industrial processes, such as welding and metalworking. The study of combustion reactions is important for understanding how to use them safely and efficiently.
