Hi there.
00:03
In this question, we are asked to write a balanced chemical equation.
00:08
So let's go ahead and get started doing that.
00:10
The first thing we need to do is write the correct formulas for each of the reactants and each of the products.
00:16
So we are starting out with solid copper 2 oxide.
00:21
So we have cu and the roman and world 2 tells us the charge.
00:26
So it has a 2 positive charge.
00:28
And it's with oxygen.
00:31
Oxygen has a two negative charge.
00:33
So the formula for this is simply going to be c -u -o.
00:38
And we're told it is a solid.
00:41
All right.
00:42
So that's our first reactant.
00:44
It's reacting with carbon monoxide gas.
00:47
So that's going to be co and it's a gas.
00:54
Then it says produces solid copper.
00:59
So solid copper is just going to be the element, cu.
01:03
And carbon dioxide gas...
