um, unless i am greatly in error, combustion does NOT convert mass to energy.

E=MC²

Heat is released in nuclear fission due to a change in the binding energy of the nuclei of the particles. Mass is converted to energy.

Now where does that heat come from is a chemical reaction that results in a difference in the energy state of the molecules?
