Question

Nitric acid reacts with insoluble copper(II) oxide to form soluble copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2, a compound that has been used to prevent the growth of algae in swimming pools. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of an aqueous solution of HNO3 with CuO. (Include states-of-matter under the given conditions in your answer. Use the lowest possible whole number coefficients.)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CuO(s) + 2HNO3(l) ----> Cu(NO3)2(l) + H2O(l).
