Answer:
SeCl₆ + O₂ → SeO₂ + 3Cl₂
Explanation:
Unbalanced:
SeCl₆ + O₂ → SeO₂ + Cl₂
Count the atoms.
On the left side, we have 1 Se atom, 6 Cl atoms, and 2 O atoms.
On the right side, we have 1 Se atom, 2 O atoms, and 2 Cl atoms.
So everything is balanced except for Cl. To balance, we put a 3 coefficient in front of Cl₂.
SeCl₆ + O₂ → SeO₂ + 3Cl₂

Answer:
Whenever the two groups on each end of a carbon-carbon double bond are the same, two diastereomers are possible.
Explanation:
Double bonds are formed when four electrons are shared between two carbon atoms. The second bond is generally known as a pi-bond while the first bond is called a sigma bond.
The presence of a double bond in a compound leads to restricted rotation about the carbon-carbon double bond. Hence the substituents are 'locked' in a particular configuration.
The more substituted a double bond is, the more stable it is according to Saytzeff's Rule.
Due to steric effects, trans alkenes are generally more thermodynamically stable than cis alkenes since trans alkenes have bulky groups oriented apart from each other.
All these are true statements. The answer selected must be the untrue statement.
The number of years required for 1/4 cobalt-60 to remain after decay is calculated as follows
after one half life 1/2 of the original mass isotope remains
after another half life 1/4 mass of original mass remains
therefore if one half life is 5.3 years then the years required
= 2 x 5.3years = 10.6 years
