Combustion Reactions By Jonathan Martinez Period 5-6

Different types of Reactions Exothermic Catalyst Combustion reaction

What a Combustion Reaction is the vigorous and exothermic reaction between a fuel and an oxidant between a fuel between a fuel between a fuel

What is a fire triangle A model for understanding the ingredients that make most fires

Activation Energy It’s the energy needed to activate most chemical reactions

Why heat is needed for a fire Without sufficient heat, a fire cannot begin, and it cannot continue.

Fire triangle in daily lives For our cooktop of the stove you have oxygen which is needed for the fire to continue burning, then the nozzle in the middle releases gas that catches on to heat also released.

What is a combustion engine and how it works Is the car engine that burns fuel that pushes a piston in a circle that turns the wheels.

How race cars are different In general race cars have more engine power with more pistons which is the important factor in driving faster

How does nitrous oxide help engines perform better When N2O is heated highly enough it splits into oxygen and nitrogen, so more oxygen is available during combustion. And because you have more oxygen you can get more fuel
