It occurs in a series of sequential reactions until a stable nucleus is reached because Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation.
As the metal rusts it expands increasing its mass therefore increasing the weight.
Answer:
6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O
Explanation:
First, we need to write the half-reactions:
2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻ Oxidation -Balanced yet-
XeO₃ → Xe Reduction
To balance the reduction in acidic aqueous solution we need to add waters in the other side of the reaction as oxygens are present:
XeO₃ → Xe + 3H₂O
And H⁺ as hydrogens from water we have:
XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → Xe + 3H₂O
To balance the charge:
<h3>XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ → Xe + 3H₂O Reduction -Balanced-</h3><h3 />
To cancel out the electrons of both half-reaction we need to multiply oxidation 3 times:
6Br⁻ → 3Br₂ + 6e⁻
XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ → Xe + 3H₂O
And the balanced reaction in acidic aqueous solution is the sum of both half-reactions:
<h3>6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O </h3>
Explanation:
I think the correct answer is B
