There are only TWO things that ALL combustion reactions have in common...

The video explains combustion reactions, highlighting that they always involve oxygen and a hydrocarbon as reactants. Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide and water, while incomplete combustion results in carbon monoxide and water. The video also provides examples and methods to identify combustion reactions based on reactants and products.

What are the two essential reactants in a combustion reaction?

• Hydrocarbon and oxygen

• Oxygen and nitrogen

• Hydrogen and carbon

• Carbon dioxide and water

Which of the following is a product of complete combustion?

• Carbon monoxide

• Water

• Oxygen

• Methane

In a gasoline engine, which type of combustion reaction typically occurs?

• Complete combustion

• Incomplete combustion

• Catalytic combustion

• Spontaneous combustion

How can you identify a combustion reaction?

• By the absence of water

• By the presence of nitrogen

• By the presence of oxygen and a hydrocarbon as reactants

• By the presence of carbon monoxide

What are the products of an incomplete combustion reaction?

• Methane and carbon dioxide

• Hydrogen and oxygen

• Carbon monoxide and water

• Carbon dioxide and water
