Question

Zinc oxide reacts with carbon on heating to form zinc metal and carbon monoxide write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction name 1.oxidising agent and 2.reducing agent in this reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

     ZnO+ C ------> Zn + CO

      Zn 1stly +2  on rhs i.e 0 hence undergone reduction so it is oxidising agent

     similarly applying for c its oxdation state increases so acts as reducing agent

           hope u get it n let me know

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation is :

ZnO + C → Zn + CO

Above equation is a balanced chemical equation in which:

1..oxidising agent is Zinc oxide

2..reducing agent is carbon
