This is covalent network type of solid.

For example, silicon dioxide (SiO₂) is covalent network solid with covalent bonding.

Covalent network solid is a chemical compound (or element) in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material.

Silicon(IV) oxide has continuous three-dimensional network of SiO₂ units and diamond has sp3 hybridization.

This solids do not have free electrons so they are good insulators.

They have strong covalent bonds, so they melt at extremely high temperature.

Other examples are quartz, diamond, and silicon carbide.

alexandr402 [8]
The correct answer for this question is this one: " a.The solution has a volume of 25 mL "

The observation that shows a quantitative observation is when you are talking about numeric data. Just like this one, <em>The solution has a volume of 25 mL </em>
Hope this helps answer your question and have a nice day ahead.

11C. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory to standardize strong base solut
Llana [10]

For the reactants,

  • The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
  • The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
  • The oxidation number of arsenic = +5
  • The oxidation number of carbon = +3

For the products,

  • The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
  • The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
  • The oxidation number of arsenic = +3
  • The oxidation number of carbon = +4

Here, arsenic (+5 to +3) and carbon (+3 to +4) are the only oxidation numbers changing.

Note that an increase in oxidation number means electrons are lost. Thus oxidation is occurring, and a decrease in oxidation number means electrons are being gained, and thus reduction is occurring.

Also, the compound that contains the element being oxidized is the reducing agent, and the compound that contains the element being reduced is the oxidizing agent.

So, the answers are:

name of the element oxidized: Carbon

name of the element reduced: Arsenic

formula of the oxidizing agent: \text{H}_{3}\text{AsO}_{4}

formula of the reducing agent: \text{H}_{2}\text{C}_{2}\text{O}_{4}

2. Incoming wastewater, with BOD5 equal to 200 mg/L, is treated in a well-run secondary treatment plant that removes 90 percent
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

10.8 ml

Explanation:

The BOD is an empirical test to determine the molecular oxygen used during a specified incubation period (usually five days), for the biochemical degradation of organic matter (carbonaceous demand) and the oxygen used to oxidise inorganic matter.
