What reactants would give Potassium Nitrate Carbon Dioxide water?

Potassium nitrate, carbon dioxide and water. Looking at the last two reactants, we can take a fairly good guess that this could be a carbonate-acid reaction. Let's try it.
We need potassium (ions) somewhere (either in the carbonate or the acid) and nitrate ions in the other. Since all acids must have an H+, the potassium (positive ion) cannot be in the acid. So we must have nitrate in the acid: HNO3, which is just nitric acid. Now the potassium must be in the carbonate, so we balance the ionic formula: K+ and CO32-, and we get K2CO3.
So the two reactants are HNO3 and K2CO3, and the equation is
HNO3 + K2CO3 --> KNO3 + CO2 + H2O
Hope this helped :)

When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
In the equation carbon plus oxygen carbon dioxide the reactants?
The reactants are Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O). The product is Carbon dioxide (CO2) The equation (balanced) is (C + O2 -----> CO2)
Which is most soluble in water potassium nitrate or carbon tetrachloride?
Almost all the nitrates are soluble in water including potassium nitrate, but carbon tetrachloride is an organic non polar liquid so it is not soluble in water.
Methane oxygen carbon dioxide water?
methane and oxygen react together (combustion) to give carbon dioxide + water. The reactants are methane and oxygen which react to form the products water and carbon dioxide.
When potassium nitrate burns what kind of gas is produced?
Potassium nitrate doesn't burn The oxidation numbers of all of the elemnst are K +1, N +5 so they are as oxidised as they can get. Potassium nitrate was a constiten t of gun powder- it was a source of oxygen for the explosive combustion of the carbon and sulfur
What hapens to potassium nitrate when dissolved in carbon tetrachloride?
Potassium nitrate is polar, while carbon tetrachloride is non polar. So there will be a layer of potassium nitrate and a layer of carbon tetrachloride, which will not mingle with one another.
When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
What are the reactants for photosynthsis?
the reactants are carbon dioxide and water molecules.
Does gunpowder have acid in it?
Well it has Carbon, Sulfur and Potassium Nitrate, and Potassium Nitrate can be classified as an acid, yes.
Reactants for photosynthisis?
the reactants for photosynthesis would be water and carbon dioxide
What are the reactants and pruducts when isooctane and oxygen burn to form carbon dioxide and water?
reactants: isooctane & oxygen products: carbon dioxide & water
In the equation carbon plus oxygen carbon dioxide the reactants?
The reactants are Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O). The product is Carbon dioxide (CO2) The equation (balanced) is (C + O2 -----> CO2)
What when a reaction has taken place give you Potassium Nitrate plus Carbon dioxide plus water?
Potassium carbonate plus nitric acid. K2CO3 + 2HNO3 = 2KNO3 + H2O + CO2 .
What are the reactants of phtosynthesis?
The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, CO2, and water, H2O.
Why can't potassium hydroxide be used to test for carbon dioxide?
it is because potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and water. but potassium carbonate is soluble, so there will be no visible change to see if there is carbon dioxide emitted
When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium nitrate is carbon dioxide evolved?
No. Where would the carbon in the carbon dioxide come from?
What reactants are needed for photosynthesis and respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
