Wrap-Up
• Combustion is defined as a reaction of a fuel with oxygen, which releases heat and light.
• Dry fuel, a spark of some sort, and oxygen are the three items necessary for combustion.
• Limiting the supply of oxygen, or adding water, extinguishes fires.

• Most metals combust. Most metals do not produce a flame when they combust. Most metals combust very slowly.
• Substances that already contain a high percentage of oxygen atoms are less apt to be combustible.
• Carbon dioxide and water do not combust. They are the products of combustion.

• In a combustion reaction, the longer the carbon chain in the fuel, the more oxygen it reacts with.
• The products of the combustion of metals are solid metal oxides. These reactions usually do not produce enough gases to support a flame.

Standard automobiles use a mix of carbon-based compounds (high in octane) as fuel. The cars that race in the Indianapolis 500 use methanol as fuel. And top dragsters use nitromethane as fuel.
• Balance the equations for the combustion of these fuels.
• Why do you think they use different fuels for different types of driving?

Check-In
Which molecule of the three listed below would you expect to release the most energy per mole of fuel combusted? What is your reasoning?
• propane, C3H8
• propanol, C3H8O
• pentane, C5H12

Wrap-Up
• Substances consisting mostly of carbon and hydrogen atoms are good fuels.
• Trends show that the larger the carbon compound, the more energy is released per mole of fuel when that compound combusts.
• Molecules without oxygen atoms tend to release more energy than comparable molecules that contain oxygen (e.g., CH4 > CH3OH).

Wrap-Up
• An explosion is a rapid expansion of gases.• Not all fires involve explosions.• Some explosions do not involve fire at all.• The surface area of a fuel, and the
availability of oxygen to the fuel, are factors that affect the rate of combustion.
• There are four conditions necessary for fire. These four conditions are represented in the fire tetrahedron: oxygen, fuel, heat (or spark), and chemical chain reaction.
