Democritus was the first person to theorize the existence of atoms.
Answer:
C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr
Explanation:
The term balancing of chemical reaction equation has a unique meaning in chemistry. What it actually means is to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side of reaction equation becomes equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.
When we look at the equation; C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr, the number of atoms of each element on the left and right hand sides of the given equation are not the same hence the equation is unbalanced.
If we look at the equation; 2C2H3Br + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HBr, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation are now equal, thus the later equation is the balanced version of the former.
Answer:
sodium

everybody already known its sodium
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
8 alpha particles
4 beta particles
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Neptunium-237
- Thallium-205
- Neptunium-237 undergoes beta and alpha decay to form Thallium-205.
We are required to determine the number of beta and alpha particles produced to complete the decay series.
- We need to know that when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle the mass number reduces by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- When a beta particle is emitted the mass number of the radioisotope increases by 1 while the atomic number remains the same.
In this case;
Neptunium-237 has an atomic number 93, while,
Thallium-205 has an atomic number 81.
Therefore;
²³⁷₉₃Np → x⁴₂He + y⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti
We can get x and y
237 = 4x + y(0) + 205
237-205 = 4x
4x = 32
x = 8
On the other hand;
93 = 2x + (-y) + 81
but x = 8
93 = 16 -y + 81
y = 4
Therefore, the complete decay equation is;
²³⁷₉₃Np → 8⁴₂He + 4⁰₋₁e + ²⁰⁵₈₁Ti
Thus, Neptunium-237 emits 8 alpha particles and 4 beta particles to become Thallium-205.
