Radium is an element below barium in Group 2 of the Periodic Table. Which equation shows what happens when solid radium nitrate, Ra(NO3)2, is heated strongly?
ARa(NO3)2(s) → RaO(s) + N2O(g) + 2O2(g)
B2Ra(NO3)2(s) → 2RaO(s) + 2N2(g) + 5O2(g)
C2Ra(NO3)2(s) → 2RaO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
D4Ra(NO3)2(s) → 2Ra2O(s) + 8NO2(g) + 3O2(g)
✓ Correct answer
C: 2Ra(NO3)2(s) → 2RaO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)
