Give a balanced equation for a direct combination reaction involving:
a) Two elements – one of which is a neutral gas and the other a yellow non-metal
b) Two elements – one of which is a neutral gas and the other a monovalent metal
c) Two compounds – resulting in formation of a weak acid

Dear Student

a.) Neutral gas ----> O2 
    Yellow non-metal -----> S

Balanced equation -
3S + 4O2 ----> SO2  + 2SO3


b.) Neutral gas ----> O2 
     Monovalent metal ----> Na (with valency equal to 1)

Balanced equation is -
6Na  +  2O2 -----> 2Na​2O   +    Na2O2


c.) CO2 and H2O reacts to form Carbonic Acid, H2CO3 (a weak acid)

Balanced equation -
CO2  +   H2O ------> H2CO3
