Answer to Question #166261 in Chemistry for Alejandra Arredondo

Question

cu(s)+4hno3(aq)+cu(no3)2aq+2NO(g)+2H2O(L) what is the products of the reaction and what are the reactants

Answer 1

Solution:

The balanced chemical equation:

Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Reactants are substances that start a chemical reaction.

Products are substances that are produced in the reaction.

Hence,

Reactants of the reaction - Cu (copper), HNO₃ (nitric acid).

Products of the reaction - Cu(NO₃)₂ (copper(II) nitrate), NO₂ (nitrogen dioxide), H₂O (water).

Answer: Copper (Cu) and nitric acid (HNO₃) are the reactants, while copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO₃)₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and water (H₂O) are the products.
