Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.

What is the difference between lava and fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance that produces heat and light. Lava is molten rock that has reached Earth's surface from a volcano.
Does oxygen catch fire easily?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Higher concentrations of oxygen will cause a fire to burn hotter and faster.
Is a forset fire a chemical reaction?
Fire is a chemical reaction. A forest fire is a disaster consisting of chemical reactions.
Can alcohol be broken down by chemical means?
It can be converted to water and carbon dioxide by setting it on fire. Ethanol can be broken down in the body by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.
Can a exothermic reaction be used to fire an engine?
Yes. That is exactly what we use today. Most engines are powered by an exothermic reaction between gasoline or a similar fuel with oxygen.
Why will a fire go out when there is no oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Without oxygen the reaction cannot occur.
What is a reaction between oxygen and fuel that results in fire?
combustion
What is a rapid reaction between fuel and oxygen resulting in fire.?
combustion
How is destroyed?
by the addition of alcohol. however this should be done with extreme caution as it is highly exothermic reaction and may even catch fire.
What is the difference between lava and fire?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable substance that produces heat and light. Lava is molten rock that has reached Earth's surface from a volcano.
How is sodium destroyed?
by the addition of alcohol. however this should be done with extreme caution as it is highly exothermic reaction and may even catch fire.
What happens if you put alcohol and fire to gether?
The alcohol sets on fire…
Is fire chemical or mechanical reaction?
Fire is a chemical reaction (oxydation).
How does chemical reaction help fire?
Fire is the result of an oxidation reaction.
Does oxygen catch fire easily?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and some flammable material. Higher concentrations of oxygen will cause a fire to burn hotter and faster.
Is a spark a type of reaction?
An electrical spark is not. It is merely electrons flowing and that may cause a reaction. A fire type spark, is not either, but the fire is. A 'spark' that is a slmall ember of burning substance that 'jumps' from a fire is a burning material, so there is a chemical reaction of burning, also called oxidation, going on.
Why would there be no fire without oxygen?
Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material. Without oxygen you are missing one of the ingredients.
