Oxygen
Yes, oxygen is used as a reactant in combustion reactions and is often depleted during the process as it combines with other elements to form combustion products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These combustion products contain the oxygen atoms that were part of the original reactant.
No. Molecular oxygen is a reactant in a combustion reaction.
Oxygen.
O2
Combustion reactions always have O2 as a reactant. The other reactant is the thing being burned. If the thing being burned is a hydrocarbon, the products will be water and carbon dioxide.
Every combustion reaction we deal with produces gas with oxygen in the product, so O2 (oxygen gas) must be a reactant. For example, methane reacts with Oxygen in this way: CH4(l) + O2(g) -> C02(g)+2H2(g) Note O2 in gaseous form as a reactant.
Oxygen typically serves as a reactant in chemical reactions where it undergoes oxidation or combustion processes. It is involved in various reactions, such as cellular respiration, combustion of fuels, and rusting of metals.
