Balanced chemical equation: C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g).

Oxidation half reaction: C⁰ → C⁺⁴ + 4e⁻.

Reduction half reaction: O₂⁰ + 4e⁻ → 2O⁻².

Carbon is oxidized, it changes oxidation number from zero (in carbon element) to oxidation number +4 (in carbon dioxide).

Oxygen is reduced, it changes oxidation number from zero (in molecule of oxygen) to oxidation number -2 (in carbon dioxide).

Carbon + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide

C + O ---> CO2

In addition to mass balance, oxidation-reduction reactions must be balanced such that the number of electrons lost in the oxidat
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

OH−(aq), and H+(aq)

Explanation:

Redox reactions may occur in acidic or basic environments. Usually, if a reaction occurs in an acidic environment, hydrogen ions are shown as being part of the reaction system. For instance, in the reduction of the permanganate ion;

MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) +5e-------> Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

The appearance of hydrogen ion in the reaction equation implies that the process takes place under acidic reaction conditions.

For reactions that take place under basic conditions, the hydroxide ion is part of the reaction equation.

Hence hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are included in redox reaction half equations depending on the conditions of the reaction whether acidic or basic.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Thermal energy

Explanation:

When gasoline, coal, batteries and logs are all burn they transform chemical energy to thermal energy.

The chemical energy is the energy held between chemical chains and bonds within an atom.

  • When they combust, they release thermal energy
  • Chemical energy is a potential energy.
  • The thermal energy is a kinetic energy
  • It increase the average motion of the particles in the medium
  • The breaking bond when produces heat which is a form of thermal energy.
