4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3 is the reaction for preparation of silicon by the reduction of K₂SiF6 with Al.

AlF3xH2O-based inorganic compounds are referred to as aluminium fluoride. They are all solids without colour. Aluminium fluoride is a crystalline (sand-like), odourless, white, or colourless powder. In addition to being used to make aluminium, it also functions as a flux in welding processes and in ceramic glazes and enamels.

Silicon (Si) is created by reducing potassium silicofluoride with aluminium as the reducing agent (K2SIF6). While K2SiF6 is reduced to Si in this equation, aluminium is oxidised to aluminium fluoride. As a result, the balanced equation describing aluminum's reduction of K2SiF6 to silicon non-metal is as follows: 4Al + 3K2SiF6 = 6KF + 3Si + 4AIF3

Does this equation obey the law of conservation of mass: 2Z + 2HCI ➡️ ZnCI2 + H2​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

2Zn + 2HCI ➡️ ZnCI2 + H2​

LHS of equation

Z = 2

H = 2

Cl = 2

RHS of equation

Zn = 1

Cl =2

H =2

as Zn is not equal in number of atoms on both sides of the equation, the equation does not obey the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

the law of conservation mass states that the mass of an isolated system cannot be created nor destroyed by any chemical reaction or physical transformation. thus, there must be an equal number of atoms of an element present on both sides of the equation.

Becky leaves home and rides a distance of 30 km. it took her 2.5 hours. what is her speed
Charra [1.4K]
Becky's speed is her distance travelled which is 30 km divided by her time travelled of 2.5 hours which gives her average speed of 12 km/hour which is a quite good speed if she was say riding a bicycle and which would give her a good aerobic workout.
