Question

Identify the reactants and products in this chemical equation below:

C2H6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O


a

Carbon is the reactant

b

C2H6 + O2 are the reactants, CO2 + H2O are the products

c

H2O is the product

d

CO2 + H2O are the reactants C2H6 + O2 --> are the products

which is it A B C or D?

Answer 1

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the products are on the right side of a chemical equation while the reactant is on the left.

In this case we have...

C2H6 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O

Since C2H6 and O2 are on the left side that would mean they're the reactants, while CO2 + H2O are the products. Which means your answer is option B or "C2H6 + O2 are the reactants, CO2 + H2O are the products."

Hope this helps.
