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 CxHy is not the same in any way as a reaction between O2 and CxHy. 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)
