<span>These values also increase from the
bottom to the top of a group because the size of the atom decreases, resulting
in a smaller distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, which
increases the attraction between the protons and electrons.</span>
Answer:
5SiO2 + 2CaC2 = 5Si + 2CaO + 4CO2
Explanation:
balancing equations is a lot of trial and error. My strategy to approaching this equation was to get the O's balanced. After trying several combonations I found that I needed 10 O's on each side of the equation for the other elements to match up. After I balanced the O's, I balanced my C's to 4 on each side. Then I balanced my Ca's to have 2 on each side. And last but not least I balanced my Si to have 5 on each side.
I'm assuming that you meant 55 g/cm^
3. Density=

. This is the definition of density. If you rearrange this equation by multiplying each side of the equation by the volume, you get: (Density)(Volume)=Mass. Divide each side by the density to get: Volume=Mass/Density. Now just plug everything in:
V=220 (grams)/55 (grams/cm^3)=<u>4 cm^3</u>
