Which answer best describes what is happening in the following reaction? 2c8h18 + 25o2 mc022-1.jpg 16co2 + 18h2o this is not a redox reaction. it is an example of combustion. this is a redox reaction in which octane (c8h18) is oxidized. this is a redox reaction in which carbon dioxide (co2) burns due to ignition. this is not a redox reaction, because a solution of carbon dioxide and water results.

Answer is: This is a redox reaction in which octane (C8H18) is oxidized.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ → 16CO₂ + 18H₂O.

There same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction: eight carbon atoms, eighteen hydrogen atoms and twenty five oxygen atoms.

Carbon in octane lost electron, it is oxidized to oxidation number +4 in carbon dioxide (CO₂).

yes
