Where do you find spontaneous combustion and rapid combustion in your daily life?

Answer»

Spontaneous combustion is observed in burning of match stick. When the match stick is struck against the rubbing surface the red phosphorous converts into white phosphorous which immediately react with potassium chlorate in the match stick head to produce enough heat to ignite antimony sulphide and start the combustion.

Rapid combustion is observed in gas stoves. When we turn the nob of the gas stove in the kitchen and bringing a burning match stick near to it. The gas burns rapidly and produce heat and light.
