The
reaction is<span>
C</span>₂H₄ +
O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O<span>
To balance the equation, both side have same
number of elements. Here,</span>
In left hand
side has
in right hand side has
4 H atoms
2 H
atoms
2 C atoms 1 C
atom
<span>
2 O atoms 3 O
atoms
First, we have to balance number of C atoms and number of H atoms in both side.
To balance C atoms, '2' should be added before CO</span>₂ and to balance H atoms, '2' should be added
before H₂<span>O.
Then number of oxygen atoms is </span>2 x 2 + 2 = 6 in right hand side. So, 3 should be
added before O₂<span> in left hand side.
After balancing the equation should be,</span>
C₂H₄<span> + 3O</span>₂<span> → 2CO</span>₂<span> + 2H</span>₂O
Answer is: (4) emits energy as it moves to a lower energy state.
Atom emits a characteristic set of discrete wavelengths, according to its electronic energy levels.
Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state.
Each transition has a specific energy difference.
Each element's emission spectrum is unique.
