Methane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. What are the products? A. methane and water B. oxygen and carbon dioxide C. methane and oxygen D. carbon dioxide and water

pooja195 (pooja195):

Do you know what products mean?

pooja195 (pooja195):

|dw:1451169680354:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you there?

pooja195 (pooja195):

|dw:1451169706295:dw| The left side are the reactants (the things that undergo a change in a reactions) The right side is what is formed from the reactions known at the PRODUCTS

pooja195 (pooja195):

So what are our products?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

some thing that is formed by reactents?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct, but your question wants the NAMES of what is produced which answer choice would it be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not understanding what they mean

pooja195 (pooja195):

They want to know what is produced from the reactants. Which in this case is the methane and oxygen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its c?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Nope those are our REACTANTS (the things on the LEFT side) product are on the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so it would be D? im not guessing i am going on what you said

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAYY

pooja195 (pooja195):

Well done :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is it ok if you help me with more

pooja195 (pooja195):

I can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a chemical reaction, water decomposes to form hydrogen and oxygen. What is the correct term for the water? A. an element B. an atom C. a product D. a reactant

pooja195 (pooja195):

What do you think it is and why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c becase the water is the reactent and the hydrogen and oxygen are the productants

pooja195 (pooja195):

hmm nope the word decomposes means break down in a reaction what breaks down to form the products? (HINT look back at the previous question)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a elemant?

pooja195 (pooja195):

We are talking about decomposing here it's got nothing to do with elements

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its not a reactent and its not a producttant and its not a element

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a adom

pooja195 (pooja195):

"In a chemical reaction, water decomposes to form hydrogen and oxygen. What is the correct term for the water?" Decompostiton refers to BREAKING DOWN In a reaction the reactants are what products form. What is the reactant here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that one is hard

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

eh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~\bf~H_2O \rightarrow H_2 + O\] We said that our reactants are on the LEFT side so what is our reactant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no water

pooja195 (pooja195):

no water? What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i said hydrogen and oxygen and i was thinking water

pooja195 (pooja195):

Water is correct. Therefore water is the REACTANT. What is produced from water would be the products.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hydrogen and oxygen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so water produced hydrogen and oxygen

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im going to post it on a nother pag

pooja195 (pooja195):

okie :)
