Question

[Gradpoint-Question AK-4] Which equation represents a combustion reaction?

A: Ca + 2H Cl -----> CaCl₂ + H₂
B: Pb(NO₃)₂ +2HCl -----> PbCl₂ + 2HNO₃
C: 2SO₂ + O₂ ------> 2SO₃
D: 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ -----> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

This question is worth 40 points. So please answer carefully. I'm bad at Chemical equations.

Answer 1

The answer is D. It's combustion of ethane to carbon dioxide and water (complete combustion).

Answer 2

The equation represents a combustion reaction is -

• D: 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ -----> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

A reaction involves a substance reacting with oxygen and releasing energy in form of light or heat, such a chemical reaction is called a combustion reaction.

• Burning coal, methane gas, and sparklers are all common examples of combustion reactions

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ -----> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

• Here ethane reacts with oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water with a high amount of energy.
• Pb(NO₃)₂ +2HCl -----> PbCl₂ + 2HNO₃ is a double replacement, acid-base reaction. It is also called a neutralization reaction.
• 2SO₂ + O₂ ------> 2SO₃ is a combination reaction that is an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction.

• Ca + 2H Cl -----> CaCl₂ + H₂ is a single replacement reaction that is also an example of oxidation-reduction reaction

Thus, the equation represents a combustion reaction is -

• D: 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ -----> 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
