Answer:

A balanced chemical equation will demonstrate the law of conservation of mass because the amount of elements on one side (reactants) will equal the amount of elements on the other side (products).

Explanation:

CH₄ + 4Cl₂ -> CCl₄ + 4HCl

Reactants:

1 C

4 H

8 Cl

Products:

1 C

4 H

8 Cl

Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. This is the law of conservation of mass. In every chemical reaction, the same mass of matter must end up in the products as started in the reactants. Balanced chemical equations show that mass is conserved in chemical reactions.

when riding bumper cars at the fair you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards which law of motion is this

weeeeeb [17]

Newton's third law of interaction, says that if one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. It's the law of action-reaction, and it helps to explain why you feel a jolt when you collide with another bumper car.

Suppose Highlinium-308 can also undergo positron emission

____ [38]

Answer:

The atomic number of burienium will be 307.

Explanation:

During positron emission proton is converted into the neutron and one electron neutrino with positron is released. It means the atomic number will be reduce by one and atomic mass remain same.

For example:

²³Mg₁₂ → ₁₁Na²³+ e⁺+ Ve

Similarly, when highlinium-308 undergoes positron emission the new element burienium is produced and the atomic number will be 307 while atomic mass remain same.

Properties of beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

Predict the following chemical formula for a compound between aluminum and chlorine. AlCl3 Al3Cl Al2Cl3 Al3Cl2

Tasya [4]

Both aluminum and chlorine have known charges, which are +3 and -1 respectively. To make them cancel each other out in charge, you would need 3 chlorine and for one aluminum, therefore $AlCl_{3}$ would be correct
