Learning the general equations as a rule to predict products for the combustion of hydrocarbons, metals, and even special cases such as alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes.
Thanks :) I suppose it's part of its definition. All combustion reactions have oxygen as a reactant. Oxygen itself is quite reactive, wanting to find a partner with almost anything on the periodic table. If it can do so very quickly, you'll get the heat/light given off quite noticeably. If it's slow, like corrosion, then the release of heat is gradual, and you don't notice it.
@@Anglesandacid I have never heard combustible reactions explained that way, _thank you so much._ That helps with my understanding considerably. I appreciate you taking the time to reply!
It's a Van de Graaf generator - it makes static electricity, so off-screen I've got one hand on the dome, and a piece of plastic under my feet. This way my body accumulates the charge and can fly out through the fingers of my other hand. This creates the spark that ignites the bunsen.
@@ssegawadavid well I was taught a combustion reaction is between a hydrocarbon like methane or propane and oxygen and it produces carbon dioxide and water.
Now I understand so well
Thanks from Nigeria ❤
This video deserves millions of views
Love the *4K* visuals. Much better than most of the 720p science videos out there. Also, what camera do you use?
absolute fantastic quality and full of good stuff 2 learn
Thank you so much :)
keep up the good work this video was awesum
Hlo, thank you for explaining love from India ❤❤
Extremely helpful, thank you! Is there any 'simple' explanation as to why combustion reactions must occur in the presence of Oxygen?

What is formaldehyde
I am thinking that you are the scientist
is magnesium + oxygen = magnesium oxide a synthesis
reaction or a combustion reaction? or BOTH?
Why when he put his finger it burns???

Thank you sir
I am from Bangladesh
Nice i love the experiment
This video should get more likes
yes
nice
Yes
HI INDIAN
Who’s teacher put this for the class to watch
This process is done in the presence of air and excess oxygen
OMG 444 views
cool
Magnesium burning is not a combustion reaction
What is combustion

Yes
