Question

zinc oxide + carbon gives zinc oxide + carbon monoxide give me an balanced equation​

Answer 1

Zinc metal can be extracted by reduction of its oxide with carbon.

Zinc oxide is heated with carbon produces zinc metal.

ZnO(s) + C(s) --------> Zn (s)+ CO(g)

Zinc Oxide is reduced to Zinc

Carbon is oxidized to Carbon monoxide.

Answer 2

Balanced equation for zinc oxide + carbon gives zinc oxide + carbon monoxide  $ZnO + C \rightarrow Zn + CO$

Explanation:

• Metals of little reactivity cannot move high reactive metals from their salts. Also, it has attraction for oxygen.  
• For this reason oxides of aluminium cannot be condensed easily either by carbon, hydrogen or carbon monoxide.  
• Zinc oxide can be reduced to zinc by using carbon monoxide because oxides of zinc is placed below aluminium and can be reduced on heating with carbon, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
• Zinc is mostly available in its carbonates and sulphides. So this metal carbonates and metal sulphides initially get converted into oxide form. Hence Zinc oxide reduced using common reducing agents like carbon, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
