Show transcript
Combustion is the chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light.
Complete combustion of fuels (like hydrocarbons) involve the production of carbon dioxide and water.
The chemical test for oxygen is a combustion reaction, involving relighting a glowing splint.
Incomplete combustion produces carbon particulates (soot) and carbon monoxide due to reduced oxygen levels.
