Question

Complete the following equation:

$\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}}{2\mathrm{C}}+\underset{Oxygen}{limited\left(O_2\right)}\to \_\_\_\_\_\_$

Answer 1

Chemical properties of Carbon dioxide:

• When Carbon is burnt at low combustion temperature in limited Oxygen supply, Carbon monoxide,$\mathrm{CO}$ gas is formed.

Hence, the correct chemical equation is as follows:

$\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}}{2\mathrm{C}}+\underset{\mathrm{Oxygen}}{\mathrm{limited}\left({\mathrm{O}}_2\right)}\to \underset{\mathbf{Carbon}\mathbf{}\mathbf{monoxide}}{\mathbf{2}\mathbf{CO}}$
