Zn + CaCO3 → ZnO + CaO + CO
Explanation:
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless and odorless flammable gas. It is a bit denser than air. It is considered toxic when more than 35 ppm in air, especially to animals and humans that use hemoglobin to carry oxygen.
Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. In a laboratory, carbon monoxide can be prepared by heating a mixture of powdered zinc and calcium carbonate. This experiment results in the formation of zinc oxide and calcium oxide, and releases CO gas.
Zn + CaCO3 → ZnO + CaO + CO
Please see the attached picture for the correct formatting of the chemical equation.
