Solution
The balanced equation for the reaction of hydrogen gas and copper oxide is written as:
\[\ce{H2_{(g)} + CuO_{(s)} -> Cu_{(s)} + H2O_{(g)}}\]
The chemicals are:
- Elements: Hydrogen (H2) and Copper (Cu)
- Compounds: Copper oxide (CuO) and Water (H2O)
- Reactants: Hydrogen (H2) and Copper oxide (CuO)
- Products: Copper (Cu) and Water (H2O)
- Metal: Copper (Cu)
- Non-metal: Hydrogen (H2)
