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

As the sun heats the surface of the oceans, two layers of water result. What separates the layers?
Basile [38]

Answer:

Thermocline separate these two layers.

Explanation:

Ocean consist of three major layers on the basis of temperature.

1. Upper layer

2. Deep layer

3. Thermocline

Upper layer:

The first layer is called upper layer which is present on the surface and directly expose to the sun. The sun heat up this upper layer easily and warm it.

Deep layer

The deep layer is present below the thermocline. It is present in deep where sunlight can not approach to it and its temperature remain low.

Thermocline

It is the middle layer, present between the upper and deep layer. It separated the upper layer from deep layer. Its upper portion is warmer while lower is colder.

Which of the following best describes an alkali?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

A. Any substance with a pH above 7.

Explanation:

On the pH scale substances whose value is greater than 7 and less than 14 are termed alkali.

Acids have  a pH of less than 7 whereas neutral compounds such as water has pH of 7.

  • An alkali is any substance that produces excess hydroxyl ion in solutions.
  • Water soluble bases are known as alkali.
  • They are usually certain metallic oxides, metallic hydroxides and aqueous ammonia.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

S. aureus strain is less infectious, but its alpha-toxin is highly-toxic.

Explanation:

Given data:

LD50 for S. aureus alpha toxin 0.45 \mu g/kg

ID50 for same mouse density found to be 200,000

From the data information given above Staphylococcus aureus was done on mice. The result show that LD50 is found to be 0.45\mu g/kg and ID50 found to be 200,000 on same mouse population

the result taken together mean that S. aureus strain is less infectious, but its alpha-toxin is highly-toxic.
