WHAT DOES BURNING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

burning

Combustion

Combustion /kəmˈbʌs.tʃən/ or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can produce light in the form of either glowing or a flame. In a complete combustion reaction, a compound reacts with an oxidizing element, such as oxygen or fluorine, and the products are compounds of each element in the fuel with the oxidizing element. The process releases heat energy. Fuel + Oxidizer → Combustion products + Heat energy For example: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O The standard enthalpy of reaction for methane combustion at 298.15 K and 1 atm is −802 kJ/mol. A simple example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen, a reaction commonly used to fuel rocket engines: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O The result is water vapor, with a standard enthalpy of reaction at 298.15 K and 1 atm of −242 kJ/mol. Another example is burning of carbon, which is the main component of coal: C + O2 → CO2 Complete combustion is almost impossible to achieve.
