Question
Explain the following reaction with the balanced equation.
Zinc oxide is treated with carbon
Advertisements
Solution
Zinc oxide is reduced to zinc by heating it with carbon.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Zinc oxide}}{ZnO_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon}}{C_{(s)}} ->[Heat] \underset{\text{Zinc}}{Zn_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Carbon monoxide}}{CO↑}}\]
