In a chemical reaction, atoms in the reactants combine in new and different ways to form the molecules of the products. Students may be surprised that water can be produced from combustion. Since we ...

Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising candidate to replace internal combustion engines, especially for heavy-duty vehicles like ...

Combustion scientists have worked for years to better understand the thousands of chemical reactions that take place during the combustion process, said Sandia's Ahren Jasper, the study's lead author.

Combustion reactions are used to heat our homes, power most cars, and to generate a lot of our electricity. Image caption, A fire needs a fuel, oxygen, and heat.

Students will be able to balance chemical reactions, identify limiting reagents, and apply and evaluate a variety of reaction metrics including yield and mass efficiencies. Students will discuss and ...

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction called a redox reaction, short for ‘reduction-oxidation’. Here, one substance loses electrons and the other gains them.

All combustion reactions (such as the burning of coal) are exothermic. Incredibly, the reaction between iron and moist air that produces rust is a very exothermic process and generates lots of heat.
