What is a combustion reaction?
• When Oxygen combines with another compound to form water and carbon oxide it is called a Combustion Reaction.

• A simple Model that for understanding the ingredients for the most fires is a Fire Triangle.

What is Activation Energy?
• Activation Energy is energy must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur.

Why is heat/energy a necessary part of the fire triangle?
• With out heat the fire cannot start and without energy the fire cannot last long.

How is the cook top of your stove a real life example of a fire
triangle?• The igniter lights a spark
and that spark lights the gas. The Fire is able to keep burning because there is a constant supply of gas that is feeding that fire.

What is a combustion engine?
• The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel that occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber.
How does a combustion engine work?
• An expansion of the high temperature and pressure gases, which are produced by the combustion, directly applies force to a movable component of the engine.
How does nitrous oxide help engines perform better?
• The injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion.
