Hey everyone. Our question here wants us to give the balance equation and to determine the type of reaction. It is First looking at our react inside, we can see that we have one of Xenon and two a flooring in our product side. We also have one of xenon but we have six of flooring. Now in order to balance out, we're going to need to change our react inside so we'll have to add a coefficient of three prior to our flooring. So when we multiply three times two we get six of flooring. So this is our balanced chemical equation to determine the type of reaction. This is we've learned that when we have to react ints and they combine into one, we end up with a combination reaction and this is exactly what this reaction is. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
