This for health and hazard purposes. The conventional thermometers contain mercury which is very dangerous to health. It is toxic which could cause poisoning, respiratory damage and kidney problems. Because of this, it is already illegal to use them for safety purposes. Temperature probes are much safer because they only use thermocouples.
C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O
is a combustion reaction
Explanation:
In a combustion reaction a chemical substance (usually organic substances) are reacted with oxygen to form the most stable oxides and heat.
CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O
In a double displacement reaction two compounds exchange elements.
AB + CD → AC + BD
In a decomposition reaction a compound is split into simpler substances.
AB → A + B
In a synthesis reaction two elements are combined to form another compound. A + B → AB
In a single displacement reaction a compound exchange one of its elements.
AB + C → AC + B
