Combustibility is generally defined as the quality of substances to chemically react exothermically with oxygen. A chemical reaction is a process that always results in the interconversion of Chemical substances The substance or substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called In Thermodynamics, the word exothermic "outside heating" describes a process or reaction that releases Energy usually in the form of Heat, but Oxygen (from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys (acid literally "sharp" from the taste of acids and -γενής (-genēs (producer literally begetteris the This definition can be generalized to the reaction with other oxidizing agents. Redox (shorthand for reduction-oxidation reaction describes all Chemical reactions in which atoms have their Oxidation number ( Oxidation state
Combustibility, although a pre-condition for inflammability is not directly correlated with measures like the flash point, because combustible substances can be poorly inflammable. Flammability is the ease with which a substance will ignite causing Fire or Combustion. The flash point of a flammable liquid is the lowest Temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air In relation to Lavoisier's law of conservation of matter, which states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed only altered, the combustion or burning of a substance causes a chemical change, but does not decrease the mass of the original matter. The mass of the remains (ash, water, carbon dioxide, and other gases) is the same as it was prior to the burning of the matter.
