Question

Consider the following intermediate chemical equations.

C(5)+ O₂(g) → CO(g)
CO(g)+ O₂(g) → CO₂(g)
How will oxygen appear in the final chemical equation?
a) O₂(g) as a product
b) O₂(g) as a reactant
c) OO(g) as a product
d) 2O(g) as a reactant

Answer 1

In the final chemical equation, oxygen appears as a product.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the final chemical equation, oxygen will appear as a product, represented by O₂(g). This is because in the intermediate equations, oxygen is consumed as a reactant in the first equation, and then it is produced as a product in the second equation. Therefore, in the overall reaction, oxygen is a product.
