1. Combustion Reactions PowerPOint -ChelzaJalapadan- -Period : 7/8-

2. what are the different types of chemical reactions 1) Combustion 2) Synthesis 3) Decomposition 4) Single displacement 5) Double displacement 6) Acid-base http://misterguch.brinkster.net/6typesofchemicalrxn.html http://www.chemistryland.com/CHM130/IconChemicalReactions.jpg

3. what is a combustion reaction A combustion reaction is when a substance reacts with oxygen and it releases heat. http://www.iun.edu/~cpanhd/C101webnotes/chemical%20reactions/combustion.html http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/63/124363-004-81232F4C.jpg

4. what is the fire triangle A fire triangle consists with 3 side heat , fuel, and oxygen http://ehs.sc.edu/modules/fire/01_triangle.htm http://www.splendoroftruth.com/curtjester/Pics/Fire_triangle.png

5. what is activation energy An activation energy is when energy is needed to get a reaction started. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/images/05BFRL002_FireWhirl_HR.jpg

6. why is heat/energy a necessary part of the fire triangle It is needed because without heat is cant begin or continue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle http://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/var/sciencelearn/storage/images/contexts/fire/sci_media/images/the_fire_triangle/181572-1-eng-NZ/the_fire_triangle_full_size_landscape.jpg

7. how is your cook top of your stove a real life example of a fire triangle It is an example because it uses fuel, heat and oxygen to make fire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle http://users.tpg.com.au/kkmiller/House/14-CookTop.jpg

8. what is a combustion engine(internal) An internal combustion engine is an engine which produces heat by burning fuel in a chamber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine http://biotsavart.tripod.com/image6KI.JPG

9. how does a combustion engine work When the fuel, like gasoline fills the chamber and then it ignited by a spark plug, causing a small explosion which generates work. http://www.hybridcarfreak.com/images/plug_in_1.gif http://www.howstuffworks.com/engine1.htm

10. How are Nascar engines different from street car engines that allow them to operate at much higher speed They have high intensity programmable ignition system so when it sparks the timing can be customized to have the most possible power. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question588.htm http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/nascar-engine.jpg

11. How does nitrous oxide help engines perform better It injects more oxygen while during a combustion so you have more oxygen and you can also put more fuel so it would produce more power http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question259.htm http://www.altecpetroleumgroup.com/images/glossary/nitrous%20oxide.jpg

Document “NASCAR inspectors, preparing to do tests on horsepower numbers following Saturday's Nationwide race at Michigan International Speedway, found magnets under the gas pedals on the two Gibbs Toyotas.” http://llnw.image.cbslocal.com/0/2008/08/17/175x131/Gibbs_racing81916830.jpg http://cbs2chicago.com/sports/nascar.gibbs.cheating.2.797309.html
