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!

PolarNik [594]

Hello, Thanks for making your post on brainly!

I would say the best answer is C)Mixture

A mixer is made by combining 2 or more elements, but your not making a new element. And there are no chemical reactions happening to make a new element.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.

A rotameter calibration curve (flow rate versus float position) obtained using a liquid is mistakenly used to measure a gas flow
Veronika [31]

Answer:

I would expect the gas rate determined in this manner to be too low

Explanation:

A Rotameter can be designed to respond to the sensitivity of density, velocity, to measure the flow rate of liquid or gas enclosed in a tube. Liquids are denser than gas, and since the gas rate to be determined needed to respond to the velocity head alone of the rotameter so as to bring the forces in the tube equilibrium. Knowing if there is no flow, then the float would remain at the bottom, so gas has to flow at a higher rate compared to the liquid so the float would be in a similar position making it easier to measure the flowrate. This leaves the gas rate to be determined too low.

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction.
Murljashka [212]

<u>Answer:</u> The particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{222}_{86}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{X}+^{218}_{84}\textrm{Po}

  • <u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

222 = A + 218

A = 4

  • <u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

86 = Z + 84

Z = 2

The isotopic symbol of unknown element is _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}. Another name of helium atom is alpha particle.

Hence, the particle released in the given reaction is one alpha particle
