EXPIRIMENT

WHY DID IT BURN?

• Hexane: C₆H₁₄
• Carbon Based Fuel

WHAT BURNS?

• Paper
• Flour
• Metal
• Plastic

COMBUSTION

BURNING DEFINED

• Carbon based fuel forms a compound with the oxidizing agent
• Light given off is electrons
• Any elements not in Combustion Equation

STEPS OF BURNING

• Carbon fuel starts to combust
• Electrons transfer
• Water and Carbon Dioxide formed
• Heated Water and Carbon Dioxide evaporate
• Anything else is left behind

GROWING/EXTINGUISHING

• Anything carbon-based will combust
