Question

select the correct answer. methane (ch₄) burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. which reaction is occurring here? a. acid - base neutralization b. combustion c. combination d. single - replacement e. decomposition

Explanation:

Combustion is a reaction where a substance reacts with oxygen, often producing heat and light. Methane reacting with oxygen to form carbon - dioxide and water is a classic combustion reaction. Acid - base neutralization involves an acid and a base reacting to form a salt and water. Combination reactions have two or more reactants combining to form one product. Single - replacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound. Decomposition reactions have a single reactant breaking down into two or more products.

Answer:

B. combustion
