Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the given reaction, C(s) is oxidized to CO(g) while causing reduction of the nitrosyl group (NO₃) to NO(g). Therefore, C(s) acts as the reducing agent.

In the Following Reaction 2KNO3(s)+ 4C(s) →\rightarrow→ K2CO3(s)+ 3CO(g)+ N2(g) the Reducing Agent Is A) CO(g)

In the Following Reaction
2KNO₃(s)+ 4C(s) $\rightarrow$ K₂CO₃(s)+ 3CO(g)+ N₂(g)
the Reducing Agent Is
A) CO(g)
