There are only TWO things that ALL combustion reactions have in common...

Combustion chemical reactions are reactions that burn a fuel. The fuel that is burned is a hydrocarbon and we all know that oxygen is needed for something to burn. So all combustion reactions will have the reactants of a hydrocarbon and oxygen. The products of combustion reactions will differ depending on if you are working with a complete combustion reaction or an incomplete combustion reaction. In this video we cover the difference between the two types of combustion reactions as well as how to easily identify combustion reactions!
