C + O2 = CO2 | Chemical Equation Details

Condition

Temperature: temperature

How reaction can happen

Carbon reacts with oxygen gas

Phenomenon

This equation does not have any specific information about phenomenon.
In this case, you just need to observe to see if product substance appearing at the end of the reaction. Substances that you need to check are: CO2 (carbon dioxide),

More information

Carbon can be burned in air, and this reaction creates a lot of heat

Combination reaction

Also known as a synthesis reaction. One kind of frequently occurring combination reaction is the reaction of an element with oxygen to form an oxide. Under certain conditions, metals and nonmetals both react readily with oxygen. Once ignited, magnesium reacts rapidly and dramatically, reacting with oxygen from the air to create a fine magnesium oxide powder.

Oxidation-reduction reaction

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron. Redox reactions are common and vital to some of the basic functions of life, including photosynthesis, respiration, combustion, and corrosion or rusting.
