Combustion Reactions
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Combustion is a vigorous redox reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, usually oxygen, releasing heat and light.
Show
Ethylene's combustion oxidizes carbon from −2 to +4 as oxygen drops from 0 to −2, forming CO2 and H2O.
Watch for
Combustion names a broad redox pattern, not one fuel or oxidant — it fits a candle in air and a rocket burning aluminum in perchlorate.
