Combustion
Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. Carbon and its compounds undergo combustion, releasing a significant amount of energy. The general reaction for carbon combustion is C + O₂ → CO₂ + heat and light. For hydrocarbons like methane (CH4), the reaction ...
