Explanation:
A substance burning in the presence of oxygen and leads to the formation of heat and light is called combustion.
Some important points about combustion are as follows:
- Fuel should be present for burning.
- Air should be present for the supply of oxygen.
- There should be heat (or ignition temperature) to initiate the chemical reaction.
Total change in energy = Heat produced by system + work done on the system
= 228 - 55
= 173 kJ
Because this energy is released as heat, the reaction is exothermic.
