Answer: The reaction happening in bunsen burner is a combustion reaction.
Explanation:
The gas released from bunsen burner is mainly methane.
Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water molecule.
[tex]\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]
The chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:
[tex]CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O[/tex]
Hence, the reaction happening in bunsen burner is a combustion reaction.
