This is when a substance gains an oxygen atom in a reaction and this happens during combustion. Katie: Um, excited. This really does sound like fun. Can you give us an example? Dr. Tim ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

where Q is the heat of combustion. In this reaction, atoms are conserved and the equation balances for each of the species. The reaction is a stoichiometric reaction, and the coefficients multiplying ...

When the solvent evaporates, the phosphorous combines with oxygen in an exothermic reaction. The demonstration shown in this video is very dangerous. Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. The ...

As a chemist, and someone who leads demonstrations for chemistry students, I consider fireworks a great example of combustion reactions that produce colored fire. But the invention of colored ...
