Hello!
The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of diamonds is the following one:
C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)
As simple as that! You see, Diamonds are an allotropic form of pure carbon. Allotropic forms are different arrangements of atoms. In graphite, the C atoms are arranged in layers like paper sheets, and in diamond, the C atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral structure, which gives them their hardness and their thermal and electrical properties. Burning diamonds would be the same as burning elemental carbon and the chemical equation is the one shown before.
Have a nice day!

Yes. In B and D. In both cases, there is a net force.
In B, there is a net force to the left; in D there is a net force upward.
In A and C, the forces are in equilibrium both in the horizontal and vertical direction.</span>

Species shown in bold are precipitates.
- Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KI → CuI₂ + 2 KI
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Cu(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CuC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Ni(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → NiC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
- Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Zn(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
- Zn(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → ZnC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

A double replacement reaction takes place only if it reduces in the concentration of ions in the solution. For example, the reaction between Ca(NO₃)₂ and KOH produces Ca(OH)₂. Ca(OH)₂ barely dissolves. The reaction has removed Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the solution.
Some of the reactions lead to neither precipitates nor gases. They will not take place since they are not energetically favored.

Compare the first and last row:
Both Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ react with KOH. However, between the two precipitates formed, Ca(OH)₂ is more soluble than Zn(OH)₂.
As a result, add the same amount of KOH to two Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ of equal concentration. The solution that end up with more precipitate shall belong to Zn(NO₃)₂.
<h3>4</h3>
Compare the second and third row:
Cu(NO₃)₂ reacts with KI, but Ni(NO₃)₂ does not. Thus, add equal amount of KI to the two unknowns. The solution that forms precipitate shall belong to Cu(NO₃)₂.
