Combustion
Across
- 7. Fuels: Fuels formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, such as coal, oil, and gas.
- 10. Machines that convert energy from combustion into mechanical motion.
- 11. The process where a liquid forms solid crystals, often by cooling or evaporating.
- 12. A small flash of light or heat that can start combustion.
- 13. A rapid and violent release of energy caused by combustion or other reactions.
- 14. Fuels made from living organisms or their waste, like ethanol or biodiesel.
- 17. Fuels: Fuels made from resources that can be replenished, like biofuels.
- 19. Pop Sound: The noise made when hydrogen gas burns quickly in the presence of a flame.
- 21. A chemical reaction where a substance reacts with oxygen, releasing energy as heat and light.
- 22. A reaction where a substance combines with oxygen, often releasing energy.
Down
- 1. Reacting with great energy or intensity, like a fire burning strongly.
- 2. A historical, now-discredited theory that substances released a material called "phlogiston" during burning.
- 3. Fuels: Fuels from finite resources, like coal or oil, which cannot be replaced once used.
- 4. Energy released from reactions involving atomic nuclei, such as in nuclear power plants.
- 5. A compound made of hydrogen and carbon atoms, such as methane or petrol.
- 6. The visible, glowing part of a fire caused by combustion.
- 8. The environment around a reaction, including air, temperature, and materials nearby.
- 9. Harmful substances released into the environment, often as a by-product of combustion.
- 15. A compound formed when an element reacts with oxygen, such as carbon dioxide.
- 16. of Conservation of Mass: The principle stating that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- 18. Decomposition: A reaction where heat causes a substance to break down into simpler substances.
- 20. A reaction that releases heat to the surroundings.
