The Classical example of redox reaction is Combustion of fossil fuel. During combustion of fossil
fuels, the carbon compound in the fossil fuel reacts with oxygen in the presence of a heat source to
form carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water. Energy is also needed for the fossil fuel to react with oxygen, so
the energy used in portion of combustion is an endothermic reaction.
