The burning of a fuel (e.g., wood, coal, oil, or natural gas) in air is a familiar example of combustion. ..... Click the link for more information. . In particular, it is the amount of heat released when a given amount (usually 1 molemole, in chemistry, a quantity of particles of any type equal to Avogadro's number, or 6.02×1023 particles. One gram-molecular weight of any molecular substance contains exactly one mole of molecules. .....

Heats of combustion are used as a basis for comparing the heating value of fuels, since the fuel that produces the greater amount of heat for a given cost is the more economic. Heats of combustion are also used in comparing the stabilities of chemical compounds. For example, if equal quantities of two isomeric hydrocarbons burn to produce equal amounts of carbon dioxide and water, the one releasing more energy (i.e., with the higher heat of combustion) is the less stable, since it was the more energetic in its compounded form. heat of combustion[′hēt əv kəm′bəs·chən]heat of combustionheat of com·bus·tion |
