The above chemical equation describes the reaction between Nitric acid (HNO3) and Cobalt(II) Oxide (CoO). The result of the reaction will create Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), water (H2O) and Cobalt(II) Nitrate (Co(NO3)2).
- Reaction conditions
This reaction occurs when a mixture of Nitric acid (HNO3) and Cobalt(II) Oxide (CoO) is heated.
- Reaction process
When Nitric acid (HNO3) and Cobalt(II) Oxide (CoO) are heated, a chemical reaction will occur to create Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), water (H2O) and Cobalt(II) Nitrate (Co(NO3)2).
- Phenomena occurring
When the reaction occurs, the following phenomena will be observed: Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) gas will be produced, creating a characteristic brown color; water (H2O) and Cobalt(II) Nitrate (Co(NO3)2) are also produced, with the water helping to form a solution.
