Answer:

Explanation:

In 1896 Henri Becquerel was using naturally fluorescent minerals to study the properties of x-rays, which had been discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen.

X-rays are neutral and cannot be bent in a magnetic field. The new radiation was bent by the magnetic field so that the radiation must be charged and different than x-rays.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

2C₃H₇BO₃ + 8O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O + B₂O₃.

Explanation:

  • For balancing a chemical equation, we should apply the law of conversation of mass. It states that the no. of atoms in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.

So, the balanced equation:

<em>2C₃H₇BO₃ + 8O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O + B₂O₃.</em>

It is clear that 2.0 moles of C₃H₇BO₃ is completely burned in 8 m oles of oxygen and produce 6 moles of CO₂, 7 moles of H₂O and 1 mole of B₂O₃.
