Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Try looking in your chemistry textbook, if that doesn't work, try searching for some combustion reactions on the internet for advice
