Question

Carbon burns in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide. Which chemical equation describes this reaction? A. carbon + oxygen + carbon dioxide B. carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide C. carbon dioxide → carbon + oxygen D. carbon dioxide + carbon → oxygen

Answer 1

Carbon burns in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide. The chemical equation describing this reaction is
`\text { carbon }+\text { oxygen } \rightarrow \text { carbon dioxide }`

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The chemical equations are the representation of a particular reaction.This equation used to avoid the description of the reaction and narrowing it to precise statement. It consists of two parts namely,

• The reactants that initially present undergoes mutual reaction.
• The products, the aftermath of the reaction.

Here Carbon and oxygen are the reactants, the arrow symbol shows the direction of the reaction and the product here is carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Hello my friend! The correct answer to this quastion is "B. carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide"

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon uses oxygen and heat as fuel for the O2 chemical bond breakdown reaction, and the new reaction between carbon and formed oxygen or carbon dioxide.

C + O2 ----> CO2
