Question

How do I write the balanced chemical equation for
Copper +nitric acid -> copper(II)nitrate+ nitrogen dioxide + water

Answer 1

Cu + HNO3 ==> Cu(NO3)2 + NO2 + H2O

Can you balance it? Cu goes from zero oxidation state on the left to +2 on the right. N (in HNO3) goes from +5 on the left to +4 on the right (in NO2)

Answer 2

thank you :)
