Question

select the correct answer. in this equation, stands for carbon, stands for nitrogen, and stands for oxygen. which equation represents this reaction? a. 2co + 2no → 2cn2 + o2 b. co + no → 2co2 + 2n2 c. 2co2 + 2no → co2 + n2 d. 2co + 2no → 2co2 + n2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactants

There are 2 carbon - oxygen (CO) molecules and 2 nitrogen - oxygen (NO) molecules on the left - hand side of the reaction arrow.

Step2: Identify products

There are 2 carbon - oxygen - oxygen (CO₂) molecules and 1 nitrogen - nitrogen (N₂) molecule on the right - hand side of the reaction arrow.

Step3: Write the balanced chemical equation

The balanced chemical equation is \(2CO + 2NO
ightarrow2CO_{2}+N_{2}\).

Answer:

D. \(2CO + 2NO
ightarrow2CO_{2}+N_{2}\)
