Producing Tungsten Carbide through a Chemical Reaction

What is tungsten carbide produced from?

a) Oxygen and Carbon

b) Tungsten and Carbon

c) Tungsten and Oxygen

Answer:

b) Tungsten and Carbon

Tungsten carbide, WC, is a substance that is produced from carbon and tungsten through a chemical reaction. The balanced equation for the reaction is:

W + C → WC

From this equation, we can see that tungsten carbide is produced by the combination of tungsten (W) and carbon (C).

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is b) Tungsten and Carbon. Tungsten carbide is not produced from oxygen and carbon or tungsten and oxygen.
