Study of two possible transformations for carbon combustion.
Are the following statements true?

🇫🇷 French Version

Transformation 1

Transformation 2

1. The two transformations have the same reactants: carbon and dioxygen.

2. Carbon monoxide is a product of transformation 2.

3. In the initial state of transformation 1, there are as many carbon atoms as dioxygen molecules.

4. In the initial state of transformation 2, there are twice as many dioxygen molecules as carbon atoms.

5. Transformation 1 corresponds to complete carbon combustion.

6. Transformation 2 is incomplete combustion because carbon monoxide is formed.

7. These two transformations are chemical transformations because dioxygen molecules are present only in the initial state.

8. The symbolic equation for transformation 1 is:
C + O2 → CO2

9. The symbolic equation for transformation 2 is:
C + O2 → 2CO

10. When carbon burns, carbon monoxide may form if the quantity of dioxygen is insufficient.
