Question

Oxygen supports the process of combustion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Combustion reaction:

• When fuel burns in presence of oxygen it starts releasing Carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), heat, and light.
• $\underset{\underset{\left(\mathrm{fuel}\right)}{\mathrm{Methane}}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_4\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Oxygen}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$

Hence, Oxygen supports combustion reaction.
