Combustion

oxygen, thermal energy, and hydrocarbons for fuel

a compound of hydrogen and carbon like methane (CH4) or propane(C3H8)

false

carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

this is when electrons are pushed to outer energy level and relsease energy when they’re pushed back down. this emits blue radiant energy/light

a lack of oxygen results in a by-product of carbon monoxide and soot

since there’s carbon debris or soot left over, it glows yellow as it’s heated up and makes the flame yellow

this is when fuel turns from a solid, into a liquid, and then into a vapor

when something reacts to oxygen (respiration, rusting, and food browning)

this is what causes flames to be yellow. it’s when soot gets so hot that it glows bright releasing visible light

there’s complete combustion

there’s incomplete combustion

incomplete combustion is when there’s not enough oxygen in system of the flame

the near absence of oxygen

y2-y1/x2-x1

(|a-b| / a+b / 2) x 100 the absolute difference over the average

f-o/o x 100

during chemical reaction, the oxygen atoms go crazy and move quickly. if you touch it, the atoms in your hands will move really fast and generate heat which will burn you

oxygen in the air, and hyrdogen and carbon locked in the wax/wick

when heat is added, oxygen atoms move so fast that they break the carbon and hydrogen off of the candle and they’re released into the air as hydrocarbon gas
