Question

PLEASE I NEED THIS ANSWERED ASAP

Answer 1

The answer would be: 
A. Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.

In this question, there are two half-reaction equations. To merge them up, you need to add the reactant with the reactant, then the product with the product. If there is a molecule on both side, you can cancel them. The full reaction would be:

C+ 1/2 O2 + CO + 1/2O2 ==>CO+ CO2       -----> remove CO from both side
C+ O2 ==>CO2
