A reaction's enthalpy is estimated by subtracting the enthalpy of this process for the products from that of the reactants.
The "open-cup" and "closed-cup" methods are used to measure the temperature at which this process occurs. This process occurs industrially in an RTO line. Inerting prevents this process by lowering the concentration below the LEL. This process is done to a sample during carbon-nitrogen-hydrogen elemental analysis. The Zeldovich mechanism shows how this process forms (*)  NOx  (NOCKS)  species. This process is isochoric  (eye-so-CORE-ick)  in an Otto cycle and isobaric in a Diesel cycle. A reaction's enthalpy is estimated by subtracting the enthalpy of this process for the products from that of the reactants. Catalytic converters mitigate the "incomplete" form of this process, which makes carbon monoxide. For 10 points, name this reaction in which a hydrocarbon is oxidized to water and CO2 in the presence of fire.
The "open-cup" and "closed-cup" methods are used to measure the temperature at which this process occurs.
