The importance of air for combustion processes

The combustion of compounds is also a chemical reaction with (components of) air. In this experiment students determine the importance of air for combustion processes and learn that the presence of air is required for combustion. It is demonstrated that even very highly flammable substances such as methylated spirits burn only in the presence of air.

Learning objectives 

•  Air is required for combustion reaction
• Combustion reaction

Benefits

• Easy teaching and efficient learning by using interactive experimentation PHYWE-Software
• Experiment is part of a complete solution set with experiments for all Inorganic Chemistry matched with international curriculum: all topics are covered
