Write the equation for the reaction described: The organic material 9,10-anthracenedione, C14H8O2, is oxidized, reacting with oxygen, forming carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given description, it turns out possible for us to set up the required chemical reaction as follows:

However, it turns out mandatory to balance it according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that the atoms must the same on the reactants side as on the products side; thus, we proceed as follows:

In order to have 14 C atoms, 8 H atoms and 32 O atoms on both sides of the chemical equation.

Regards!

h let me think

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
