<em>The following statements are not true of the combustion of an organic compound is </em>
<em>C. it can also be described as a synthesis reaction </em>
<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>
Organic compounds have a characteristic that there is a chain of carbon atoms, while in inorganic does not have a chain of carbon atoms
The reaction of a substance with oxygen is called a combustion reaction
Perfect combustion of carbon compounds will get CO2 gas, whereas if it is not perfect it will produce CO gas
Identification of carbon compounds can usually be done by flowing it into lime water which produces turbid water because of the reaction of CO2 with Ca(OH)₂ to form CaCO₃
Burning organic samples will convert C atoms to CO₂ and H to H₂O
We see the answer choices
1. Oxygen is included in the reactants in the combustion process
So the answer is correct
2. Energy is released during combustion because the reaction is exothermic or releases heat with a negative enthalpy of combustion
So the answer is correct
3. A decomposition reaction is the decomposition reaction of a compound into its constituent elements. In combustion reactions, occur decomposition, not a formation reaction
So the answer is wrong
4. CO₂ is the result of combustion,
So the answer is correct
