Combustion and Flame NCERT Science Class 8 Chapter 6

Combustion and Flame 

* Combustion-
- Combustion is a chemical process.
- In combustion, substance reacts with oxygen.
- Heat is given off.
   Substance + Oxygen ----> Heat
- Example- Burning of paper or Magnesium

* Combustible substance or fuel -
- The substance that undergoes combustion, is called combustible substance.
- Example- Paper.

* Non-combustible substance-
- The substance that doesn't undergo combustion, is called non-combustible substance.
- Example- Stone

* Ignition temperature
Lowest temperature at which  a substance catches fire is called its ignition temperature.

* Ignition temperature of wood is greater than that of kerosene. So, kerosene burns first and wood later.

Lower ignition temperature -----> Burns faster.

* Conditions necessary for combustion
(a) Combustible substance -
-Substance that can be burnt.
-Example- Paper
(b) Combusting Substance
-Substance that helps in combustion, i.e. oxygen.
(c) Ignition temperature
Lowest temperature at which  a substance catches fire is called its ignition temperature.

* Inflammable substance
- Substance having very low ignition temperature.
- Easily catches fire with a flame.
- Example- Petrol, LPG etc.

* How do we control fire 
- By spraying carbon dioxide
By spraying carbon dioxide, it covers the fuel.
Oxygen cannot come in contact with fuel.
Fire extinguishes.
- By pouring water
Water bring down temperature of fuel below ignition temperature.
Water cut off the supply of air.
Fire extinguishes.

* Types of combustion-
(a) Rapid combustion
(b) Spontaneous combustion
(c) Explosion

* Rapid combustion
The combustion where substance burns rapidly and produces heat and light.

* Spontaneous combustion
-The combustion where substance suddenly burst into flames without apparent cause.
-Phosphorus burn in air at room temperature.

*Explosion
-Combustion where substance burns and heat, light and sound are produced.
-Combustion of crackers is explosion.

* Different zones of flames
Different zones of a candle flame


* Characteristics of good fuel-
- Good fuel is readily available.
- Good fuel burns easily.
- Good fuel has high calorific value.
- Good fuel does not leave behind any undesirable residue.
- Good fuel is cleaner fuel. (It doesn't cause pollution)

* Calorific value
The amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of 1kg of fuel, is called calorific value.
- SI unit of calorific value is kilojoule per kg(kJ/kg)

* Burning of fossil fuels cause harmful products
Harmful effects of fuel combustion

Light NCERT Science Class 8 Summary Note

Image
What Makes Things Visible   When light from an object enters our eyes, then we see the object.  The light may have been emitted or reflected by the object.  Mirror   Highly polished surface is called mirror.  Reflection Bending back of light ray after falling on a surface, is called reflection.  Incident ray The light ray which strikes any surface, is called incident ray.  Reflected ray  The ray that comes back from the surface after reflection, is called as reflected ray.  Normal Line perpendicular to surface at point of incidence of light ray, is called normal.  Angle of incidence The angle between normal and incident ray, is called angle of incidence.  Angle of reflection The angle between normal and reflected ray, is called angle of reflection.  Laws of reflection (i) The incident ray, the normal at the point of incidence and the reflected ray, all lie in the same plane.  (ii) The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.  Nature of Images formed by Plane Mirro

Good Conductor The substance through which electricity can pass is called good conductor.  Examples - Copper, Aluminum Poor conductor The substance through which electricity can not pass is called poor conductor. Examples - Rubber, plastic etc.  Tester A device that test conductance of a substance, is called tester.  Solutions of acids, bases and salts are generally good conductor.  Chemical effects of Current Chemical reactions (effects) caused when electricity passes through a conducting liquid, is chemical effects of current.  How to recognize chemical reaction - Release of gas - Change of colour of solution - Release of heat - Formation of new substance In battery No. of terminals- 2 (positive and negative)  Positive terminal is also called Anode .  Negative terminal is also called cathode .  Solution  is called electrolyte .  Passing current through a solution What happens when electricity is passed through c
