What kind of chemical reaction occurs when fossil fuels and biomass are burned? What is produced in addition to energy?

Combustion is familiar to all of us, but many do not realize that it is essentially a chemical reaction. In the process of combustion, two ingredients (biomass and oxygen) are combined in a high temperature environment to form carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat

Explanation:

Combustion of Fossil Fuels. Combustion is a reaction with oxygen. In the case of the combustion of fossil fuels, the combustion reaction is what we think of as a burning process. In the combustion reaction, the species reacting with the oxgyen is oxidized (because oxygen is very electronegative).
