The correct Answer is:
To determine which substances produce flame on combustion, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Combustion**: - Combustion is a chemical process where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light. This reaction typically results in the production of a flame if the substance is combustible. 2. **Analyzing Each Substance**: - **(i) Candle**: - A candle is made of wax, which is a hydrocarbon. When a candle burns, the wax vaporizes and reacts with oxygen, producing a flame. - **Conclusion**: Yes, a candle produces flame on combustion. - **(ii) Camphor**: - Camphor is a volatile organic compound. It ignites easily and burns with a flame when exposed to heat and oxygen. - **Conclusion**: Yes, camphor produces flame on combustion. - **(iii) Magnesium**: - Magnesium is a metal that burns with a bright white flame when ignited. It reacts vigorously with oxygen. - **Conclusion**: Yes, magnesium produces flame on combustion. - **(iv) Petrol**: - Petrol is a liquid hydrocarbon fuel. It is highly flammable and produces a flame when it combusts in the presence of oxygen. - **Conclusion**: Yes, petrol produces flame on combustion. - **(v) Paper**: - Paper is made from cellulose, which is also combustible. When paper is ignited, it burns and produces a flame. - **Conclusion**: Yes, paper produces flame on combustion. 3. **Final Answer**: - All the substances listed (Candle, Camphor, Magnesium, Petrol, and Paper) produce flame on combustion.
