Question #166261

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


Expert's answer

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.
