Question 8 • LA-Chemistry A

Based on your experience, which reactions are likely to be self-sustaining? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
burning gasoline in a car engine
B
hard-boiling an egg
C
thrusting a rocket into space

Explanation

Burning gasoline and burning rocket fuel release heat, which helps keep their combustion reactions going as long as fuel and oxygen (or the rocket’s oxidizer) are available. Boiling an egg is different: it needs a continuing supply of heat from outside the egg, so it does not sustain itself.
