Question

Very quick oxidation reactions result in _____.

combustion
melting
fusion
fission

Answer 1

Very quick oxidation reactions result in combustion. Combustion happens when oxidation is fast. An example of combustion is the light batteries. We know that it is really dangerous if we will burn it because it has a fast oxidation process that can cause fire and its gas will explode.

Answer 2

Very quick oxidation reactions result in combustion.

Reason

Oxidation reaction involved reaction with oxygen. Consider following example:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
(glucose) (carbon dioxide)

From the above reaction, it can be seen that, oxidation state of C in glucose in zero, while that in CO2 is +4. Thus, oxidation state of C is increased from 0 to +4. This process is called oxidation. Further, complete oxidation of reactant molecule is referred as combustion.
