Question

Zinc oxide reacts with carbon on heating to form zinc metal and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Name(i) Oxidising agent and (ii) reducing agent, in this reaction

Answer 1

Explanation:

zno+c

1) zinc oxide

2) carbon

Answer 2

Explanation:

ZnO + C + heat ------) Zn + CO

here zn is reduced because it is going from +2 state to zero state

here C is oxidised from zero to +4

here reducing agent is carbon
