Name the type of reaction.
\( 2 C_{3} H_{8}+7 O_{2} \rightarrow 2 C O_{2}+8 H_{2} O+ \) \( 2 C O+2 C \) Name the type of reaction.
- A. Combustion
- B. Incomplete combustion
- C. condensation
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
The reaction shows propane (C3H8) reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, carbon monoxide, and carbon (soot). This is typical of incomplete combustion, where the oxygen supply is insufficient for complete combustion to only CO2 and H2O. Combustion reactions generally involve a hydrocarbon and oxygen; incomplete combustion specifically yields CO and/or C as byproducts.
