The gas would also decrease in size since the container lost gas to decrease the size of the container.
Detailed Explanation:
1) Rusting of Iron
4Fe + 3O2 + 2H2O -> 2Fe2O32H2O
Reactants :-
Fe = 4
O = 3 * 2 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4
Products :-
Fe = 2 * 2 = 4
O = 2 * 3 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4
2) Fermentation of sucrose…
C12H22O11 + H2O -> 4C2H5OH + 4CO2
Reactants :-
C = 12
H = 22 + 2 = 24
O = 11 + 1 = 12
Products :-
C = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12
H = 4 * 5 + 4 = 24
O = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12
Looking closely at the way I have taken the total number of elements on the reactants and products side, you can solve the rest.
All the Best!
The sun emits electromagnetic radiation so I think they are electromagnetic waves.
