Talk:Combustion reactions

From Conservapedia

I have moved the stub from the top of the article to the bottom. --Atomicwaist 12:22, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

This is an example of a complete combustion reaction, but it isn't the general definition of one. I left all my chemistry books in a storage unit at school; can anyone else provide a better definition? Otherwise I'll have one in a month or so... Jazzman831 14:34, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Oxygen

If you say oxygen you have to use "O". Your explanation if good for me, but is better to explain that in the article, "Main" page, not disscusion page. OK? --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 14:55, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Why do you have to use O instead of the correct O₂? A reaction between O and C_xH_y is not the same in any way as a reaction between O₂ and C_xH_y. I'm a 4th year chemical engineering student (plus I had 2 years of chemistry in high school) and I have never seen atomic oxygen written as O, unless we were discussing radical reactions. Also, on this article I had made other changes, but you reverted those along with my O₂. Those were just clarity changes, I don't see why those had to be changed.

The only reason I explained this on your talk page is because you made the same mistake on two pages, and I thought it would be better to explain it once. Jazzman831 15:27, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Rollback problems are fixed. You may explain in the article the diferences between O and O2. All of us will learn about it with your help.

You may explain there: "A reaction between O and CxHy is not the same in any way as a reaction between O2 and CxHy"

That is fine for me.

But if you say oxygen you have to use "O". That do not change if it is in the middle of a reaction or not.

Please answer me to my Talk page. Working in other matters, that is the best way for me. Thank you so much. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 19:31, 21 July 2007 (EDT)
