What element is undergoing oxidation in the following reaction? . ch4(g) +2o2 (g) -> co2(g) +2h2o(g). . option . a) c. b) o . c)h. .

Answer : The correct option is, (a) C

Explanation :

The given balanced reaction is,

This reaction is a combustion reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water as a product. Or we can say that, on oxidation a hydrocarbon gives carbon dioxide and water.

The gain of oxygen and loss of electrons are the oxidation and the loss of oxygen and gain of electrons are the reduction.

In the given reaction, the element carbon (C) is undergoing oxidation. That means on oxidation the carbon (C) element produces carbon dioxide.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) C
