Question: | 10г Carbon (C) + 2г Oxygen (O) |
Solution: | Incomplete Combustion |
Chemical Equation: | 2C + O₂ → 2CO |
Explanation: | You've got a carbon-oxygen reaction! 🔥 But there's not enough oxygen for complete combustion (making CO₂). Think of it like a campfire 🏕️ - if you don't give it enough air (oxygen), you get lots of smoky carbon monoxide (CO) instead of clean carbon dioxide (CO₂). In this case, the 2g of oxygen is limiting, meaning there's not enough to react with all the 10g of carbon. 🧪 The reaction produces carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas!) and some unreacted carbon will remain. 🚫 |
