Carbon, in all its allotropic forms, burns in oxygen to give ______.
carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide
carbonic acid
methane
carbon dioxide
Carbon, in all its allotropic forms (such as diamond, graphite, fullerene, etc.), burns in the presence of oxygen (O2тАЛ) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2тАЛ) along with the release of heat energy.
Carbon, in all its allotropic forms (such as diamond, graphite, fullerene, etc.), burns in the presence of oxygen (O2тАЛ) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2тАЛ) along with the release of heat energy.
Burning charcoal (a form of carbon) in a grill consumes oxygen from the air and produces carbon dioxide gas and heat, exactly like burning any carbon-based fuel.
COV - Carbon + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide
C(s)+O2тАЛ(g)тЖТCO2тАЛ(g) тАФ Combustion reaction of carbon
When any allotropic form of carbon is heated in air or oxygen, combustion takes place. The elemental carbon is oxidized to form carbon dioxide gas according to the chemical equation: C(s)+O2тАЛ(g)тЖТCO2тАЛ(g)+Heat. Regardless of the structural arrangement of carbon atoms in diamond or graphite, the chemical composition is pure carbon, and complete combustion always yields carbon dioxide.
Carbon exhibits allotropy, existing in crystalline forms (diamond, graphite, fullerenes) and amorphous forms (coal, charcoal, coke).
Regardless of the allotropic form, complete combustion in sufficient oxygen always yields carbon dioxide (CO2тАЛ).
Incomplete combustion of carbon produces carbon monoxide (CO).
Provides a reliable source of energy through exothermic combustion reactions.
Excess carbon dioxide emission contributes to global warming and greenhouse effect.
Energy generation in thermal power plants
Industrial metallurgy as a reducing agent and fuel
Option A (carbon monoxide) is formed during incomplete combustion due to insufficient oxygen supply.
Option B (carbon dioxide) is the correct product under complete combustion conditions.
B is correct тАФ Carbon, in all its allotropic forms, burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide.
Remember that all allotropes of carbon have different physical properties (hardness, electrical conductivity) due to their structures, but identical chemical properties because they consist purely of carbon atoms.
