1) Combustion
2) Synthesis

4) Single displacement
5)Double displacement
6) Acid-base
3. Combustion Reaction
A combustion reaction is when oxygen combines with another substance to produce water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic. An example is when wood burns.

The fire triangle is the basic substances that a fire need to keep burning or keep it going
(oxygen, fuel, heat)
5. Activation Energy
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_activation_energy
http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/energy.aspx
Minimum amount of energy required to activate atoms or molecules in which they will undergo a chemical reaction or change back to their original state.
6. Importance of Heat/Energy

Heat/energy are important to the fire triangle because it raises the material to its ignition temperature and without sufficient heat/energy, a fire cannot begin, and it cannot continue therefore it would die out.

The cooktop of your stove is areal life example of a fire triangle because it requires all the all the elements to towork (heat, oxygen and fuel) to make the plate light upso with out it your stove wouldnt be ableto keep a fire for long periods of time
8. Combustion engine

A combustion engine is the easiest way to make gasoline transform to motion. This cause the ability for your car to move
9. How does it work?
http://www.wisegeek.com/how-does-an-internal-combustion-engine-work.htm
http://www.makinemekanik.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/engine12.jpg
It works by transforming the gasoline in the combustion chamber that is caused by a small spark that ignites its changing it into energy, then the energy is used to make the car move.
10. nAscar engines vs. street car engines

NASCAR are different from regular street car engines because they are specially made for taking more combustion causing them to go faster with out turbo charge so each part is made more accurately so everything can fit perfectly causing maximum speed.

It increases an internal combustion with the engine causing more fuel to be burned than in normal cases. This is caused by oxygen combining with gasoline to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor, which expand and exert pressure on pistons

the engine takes up the air oxygen in the air and helps the explosion in the combustion engine works because our air has about 21%oxygen and the oxygen burns up with the gasoline in the engine resulting in a more complete combustion of the fuel and more power along with more speed
