Answer:A
Explanation:
A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.

It's a weak base because weak bases don't dissociate completely. If it did, then it would be a strong base.
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide. Write the balanced chemical equation.
<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of silicon and carbon dioxide follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of silicon reacts with 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas to produce 1 mole of silicon carbide and 1 mole of silicon dioxide
Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
