Question

The reaction of carbon with oxygen to produce carbon monoxide is an example of which type (or class) of reaction?2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g)single replacementendothermicdouble replacementcatalyticcombination

Answer 1

Combination. Option E is correct.

Explanations:

Given the chemical reaction between carbon and oxygen expressed as:

`2C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow2CO(g)`

From the equation, you can see that carbn combines with oxygen atom to produce carbonmonoxide. This type of reaction is known as the combination reaction since it involves the reaction of two elements to produce a compound (carbon monoxide)

Based on the explanations above, we can concude that the reaction of carbon with oxygen to produce carbon monoxide is an example of a combination reaction.
