The chemical equation is
Cu(s) +4HNO3(aq) ⇒ Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
Answer:
12
Explanation:
In the right hand side of the equation, there are three compound which contains O2, which are;
Cu(NO3)2 , number of oxygen atoms =3*2 =6
2NO2, number of oxygen atoms = 2*2=4
2H2O, number of oxygen atoms =2*1=2
Total number of oxygen atoms on the right side of equation = 6+4+2 =12
