Question
A green box contains a blue box and a pink box. The blue box contains C H subscript 4 + 2 O subscript 2. An arrow then leads in the green box to the pink box, which says C O subscript 2 + 2 H subscript 2 O. Lines lead from labels to parts of the boxes. Label A leads to the beginning of the green box. Label B leads to the + in the blue box. Label C leads to the arrow. Label D leads to the 2 in 2 H subscript 2 O. Label E leads to the end of the pink box.
Identify each part of this chemical equation, which describes the burning of methane and oxygen.
A (the entire green box):
B (the blue box):
C (the arrow):
D (the number):

In the context of the chemical equation that describes the burning of methane (CH₄) in the presence of oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O), the parts can be identified as follows:
A (the entire green box): **Reactants** - This box represents the starting materials for the chemical reaction, which are methane (CH₄) and oxygen (O₂).
B (the blue box): **CH₄ + 2 O₂** - This blue box specifically represents the reactants, with CH₄ (methane) and O₂ (oxygen) being combined.
C (the arrow): **Reaction proceeds** - The arrow indicates the direction of the chemical reaction, showing that the reactants are transformed into products.
D (the number): **2** - This number indicates the coefficient in front of O₂, signifying that two molecules of oxygen are required for the combustion of one molecule of methane.
E (the pink box): **CO₂ + 2 H₂O** - This pink box represents the products of the chemical reaction, which are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) formed from the combustion of methane and oxygen.
In summary:
- A: Reactants
- B: CH₄ + 2 O₂
- C: Reaction proceeds
- D: 2
- E: CO₂ + 2 H₂O
