Solution

Chemical equation:

  • A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction in which the reactants and products are represented by their chemical formulae
  • The part of the chemical equation to the left of the sign "" is the reactant side, while the part to the right of the arrow sign is the product side.

Reaction between Carbon and Oxygen that produces Carbon dioxide:

  • Carbon is non-metal.
  • Generally, non-metals react with oxygen to form their respective oxides.
  • So, carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
  • The balanced chemical equation can be written as:

CsCarbon+O2gOxygenCO2gCarbondioxide
