SUMMARY
Chemical reactions that release both oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as products are rare but can occur under specific conditions. One example mentioned is the use of oxygen candles, which generate O2, combined with charcoal, which produces CO2 when combusted. Additionally, reactions involving organic matter can also yield both gases, particularly in combustion processes. Understanding these reactions is crucial for applications in emergency oxygen supplies and environmental studies.
