Question

Carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide. What are the products, or what

is the product, in this chemical reaction?

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

• During chemical reactions elements or compounds that combine to form other new compounds are known as reactants
• The newly formed compounds or molecules after a reaction has taken place are known as products.

In this case;

• The chemical reaction between carbon and oxygen results to the formation of carbon dioxide.
• The equation for the reaction is; C + O₂ → CO₂
• Therefore, carbon and oxygen are the reactants while carbon dioxide is the product.
