Write a balanced equation for the combination reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coefficients. When carbon monoxide combines with oxygen , carbon dioxide is formed.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 CO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g)

Explanation:

Let's consider the combination reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

CO(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)

We have an odd number of atoms of C on each side, so we multiply CO(g) and CO₂(g) by 2.

2 CO(g) + O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g)

Now, the equation is balanced.
