Question

Y and Z are metals whose oxides are known to undergo the following reactions at high
temperature.
2 YO ---------->2 Y +0,
2 ZO ---------->2 Z+02
Kishore represents the two reactions together by the following chemical equation.
YO + ZO ---*------>Y+Z+0,
Is Kishore's representation of the two reactions together with one equation correct?
Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

no

Explanation:

since the final reaction have O which is highly unstable.

so the reaction repeats at very high temperatures. and gives O2 rather than O
