 Combustion : Combustion reactions 

Combustion or burning is a chemical reaction in which a fuel combines with oxygen, releasing heat. The commonest types of fuel are organic materials containing carbon and hydrogen, from which the waste products are typically carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, water and sometimes smoke.
