Question

Solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas . Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Answer 1

Answer: The chemical reaction is given below.

Explanation:

When solid carbon reacts with oxygen molecule, it leads to the production of carbon dioxide gas.

The chemical equation for the formation of carbon dioxide follows:

$C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of solid carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas.

Answer 2

Solid carbon reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction:

$C (s) + O_{2}(g) ---> CO_{2}(g)$
