Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

Balance this reaction ch3oh+02 c02 h20

slega [8]

Answer:

2CH3OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 4H2O

This is called Combustion of Methanol

Explanation:

Count the numbers of atoms on each sides and try to get the same amount of quantity on each sides, so you'll eventually get "balanced".

Watch this video: "How to Balance CH3OH + O2 = CO2+ H2O (Combustion of Methanol)"

Complete the equation for the dissociation of Fe(ClO4)3(aq). Omit water from the equations because it is understood to be presen

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The equation that tends to answer this question, (omitting the presence of water) is:

Fe (ClO4) 3 -----------> Fe (+3) + ClO4 (-1)

Explanation:

The numbers that we see in parentheses would be the oxidation numbers of each compound, in the case of iron, iron acts with an oxidation number of +3, and in the case of perchlorate it would be -1.

The stoichiometric name according to IUPAC (most widely used chemical nomenclature) is iron perchlorate.
