In organic chemistry, the reaction is termed a combustion reaction. In such a reaction, a fuel combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
It is an energy transformation from chemical energy to heat energy.
- An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is liberated to the surrounding.
- The surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the reaction.
