Question

classify each of the following as a combination, decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, or combustion reaction.

1. c(s) + o₂(g) → co₂(g)

Explanation:

Combustion reactions involve a substance reacting with oxygen, often producing heat and light. In the given reaction \(C(s)+O_{2}(g)\to CO_{2}(g)\), carbon (\(C\)) reacts with oxygen (\(O_{2}\)) to form carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)). This fits the pattern of a combustion reaction where a fuel (here, carbon) combines with oxygen.

Answer:

Combustion reaction.
