Answer: CO is considered as a product.
Explanation:
A general chemical equation for a combination reaction follows:
[tex]A+B\rightarrow C[/tex]
To write a chemical equation, we must follow some of the rules:
- The reactants must be written on the left side of the direction arrow.
- A '+' sign is written between the reactants, when more than one reactants are present.
- An arrow is added after all the reactants are written in the direction where reaction is taking place. Here, the reaction is taking place in forward direction.
- The products must be written on the right side of the direction arrow.
- A '+' sign is written between the products, when more than one products are present.
For the given chemical equation:
[tex]CO_2+H_2\rightarrow CO+H_2O[/tex]
[tex]CO_2\text{ and }H_2[/tex] are the reactants in the reaction and [tex]CO\text{ and }H_2O[/tex] are the products in the reaction.
Hence, CO is considered as a product.
