The following reaction is an example of a(n) ___________ reaction. CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O I. oxidation-reduction II. acid-Base III. combustion A) I only B) I and II only C) III only D) I and III only E) I, II and III

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction involves the transfer of electrons from one molecule to another, which indicates an oxidation-reduction reaction. Additionally, the reaction involves the burning of a fuel (CH₄), which is a characteristic of combustion reactions. This makes choice D, I and III only, the best choice. The reaction does not involve any acid-base reactions as there are no proton transfers between molecules.
