what is the word equation of C(s) + O2(g) → CO₂ (g) + heat
Answers
The given chemical equation :
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + heat.
Converting this into a word equation,
___________________
This chemical reaction produces heat which means it is an exothermic reaction.
- What is a chemical reaction?
It's a change in one or more substances, called reactants which combine to form one or more substances which have completely different properties called products.
Reactants : The ones on the left hand side, which perform chemical reactions and they undergo chemical change.
Products : The ones which are on the right hand side and are formed after undergoing few chemical changes in them, these are the new species formed.

Are the chemical reactions of different types?
Well, yes. The chemical reactions are of five types. They are given below :
- Combination Reaction
- Decomposition Reaction
- Displacement Reaction
- Oxidation and Reduction Reaction
- Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions.
___________________________________
The word equation is
- Solid carbon plus oxygen gas results in carbon dioxide gas
- Carbon + Oxygen gas → Carbon Dioxide gas + heat
- The reaction between the solid state of carbon and the gaseous state of oxygen for the formation of carbon dioxide gas can be classified as a combustion reaction, exothermic reaction and combination reaction.
- The given reaction is an exothermic reaction because heat evolved during the reaction.
- It is a combination reaction because carbon combines with oxygen for the formation of carbon dioxide.
- And It is also a combustion reaction because carbon is burnt in the composure of oxygen.
