Answer: False
Explanation:
4C2H6 + 7O2 --> 6H2O + 4CO2
8 Carbons on the reactant side, but 4 Carbons on the Product
24 Hydrogens on Reactant, 12 H on product
But Oxygen is balanced, 14 on each side
Answer:
Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
Explanation:
Step 1
This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay
An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.
During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.
Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.
A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.
Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
The temperature of the air, pavement, and the type of ice-melt compound used will affect the rate at which the ice melts. There are many different ice-melt compounds available from traditional rock salt (sodium chloride) to ice-melt pellets (calcium chloride).
The number of protons an element has is the same as the atomic number, so the element would have 86 protons.
