Combustion Reactions PowerPoint
By Cedrick CalalayPeriod 6
What are the different types of chemical reactions
• Combustion• Synthesis• Decomposition• Single displacement• Double displacement• Acid-base• http://misterguch.brinkster.net/6typesofchem

What is a combustion reaction?• It’s a chemical reaction
between an oxidant and a fuel source.
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_reaction
What is the fire triangle?
• It is a triangle that shows you what you would need to form a fire.
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle
What is activation energy?
• It’s the energy that is needed to create a chemical reaction.
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy
Why is heat/energy a necessary part of the fire triangle?
• Without the energy (heat, oxygen, and fuel) you would not be able to create a fire.

How is the cooktop of your stove (not electric) a real-life example of a fire triangle?
• When a stove is turned on, the gas is rushed and meets with the energy and ignites to creat a fire.

What is a combustion engine?
• It is when fuel is mixed with air in a combustion chamber.
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_Engine
How does a combustion engine work?• It works when a type of fuel fills the chamber
and then it ignited by something causing a small explosion which causes the engine to work.

In terms of combustion, how are NASCAR engines different from street car engines that
allow them to operate at much higher speeds?• A NASCAR engine is based on the size of its
engine. They are based ob a 340 cubic inch V-8 design that was first created in the 1960s.

How does nitrous oxide help engines perform better?
• Its better because when it is heated up until a temperature of 570 degrees F, it becomes oxygen and nitrogen. This means the engine will be able to get more oxygen which will perform better.

Provide 1 documented example of cheating in NASCAR in which something was done illegally to increase the combustion performance of the
engine• Michael Waltrip, a NASCAR racer’s car was
found with a additive fuel in his cars fuel and was DQed and fined $100,000.
