Question

Which of the following is an essential condition for a combustion reaction ?

Answer 1

B is the answer to your question

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance chemically reacts in the presence of oxygen.

A combustion reaction is always exothermic in nature as heat is released. Also, carbon dioxide and water will be produced in a combustion reaction.

For example, $CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

Therefore, we can conclude that an essential condition for a combustion reaction is that oxygen is a reactant.
