Enter a balanced equation for the reaction between solid nickel(II)(II) oxide and carbon monoxide gas that produces solid nickel

velikii [3]

Answer: A balanced equation for the given reaction is $NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)$ .

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)$

Number of atoms on the reactant side is as follows.

O = 2
C = 1

Number of atoms on the product side is as follows.

Ni = 1
O = 2
C = 1

Since number of atoms on both the reactant and product sides are equal. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that a balanced equation for the given reaction is $NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)$ .
