Enter a balanced equation for the reaction between solid nickel(II)(II) oxide and carbon monoxide gas that produces solid nickel and carbon dioxide gas. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer: A balanced equation for the given reaction is [tex]NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)[/tex].

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

[tex]NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)[/tex]

Number of atoms on the reactant side is as follows.

  • O = 2
  • C = 1

Number of atoms on the product side is as follows.

  • Ni = 1
  • O = 2
  • C = 1

Since number of atoms on both the reactant and product sides are equal. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that a balanced equation for the given reaction is [tex]NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)[/tex].
