It then moved from the head to the cardboard stick. Next, find out how combustion can lead to a Chain Reaction.

All combustion reactions (such as the burning of coal) are exothermic. Incredibly, the reaction between iron and moist air that produces rust is a very exothermic process and generates lots of heat.

When a combustion reaction takes place energy is released to the combustion products. If no heat is lost in this process, the temperature of the combustion products is known as the "Adiabatic Flame ...
