Question

Write the reaction involves during the reduction of zinc oxide.

Answer 1

• Zinc oxide can be reduced to free metals by using suitable reagents like Carbon, Aluminum, Sodium, or Calcium.
  The reduction reaction can be written as,
  $\mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{C}\to \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{CO}$

Hence, The reaction involved in the reduction of zinc oxide can be shown as,$\mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{C}\to \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{CO}$.
