How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: C2H4 + O2 → H2O + CO2?
Each proton serves as a positive charge and each electron serves as a negative charge. The two charges neutralize each other on a 1:1 ratio. In your question, you have 12 protons to 13 electrons. That means there's a net -1 charge because there is one more electron than protons.
Hey there! The answer to your first question is SILICON, Nickle has 28 protons, silicon has 14, 14+14=28. Its the only element thats adds up. I dont know about the 2nd one myself.
If in a redox reaction oxidation state of elements decreases or looses electron(s), the element is said to be oxidized. Hope this helps you!
