First let's find out the oxidation number of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound.

The oxidation number of cation, K is +1. Hence, the total charge of the anion, [Fe(CN)₆] is -4. CN has charge has -1. There are 6 CN in anion. Let's assume the oxidation number of Fe is 'a'.

Sum of the oxidation numbers of each element  = Charge of the compound
                                                          a + 6 x (-1) = -4
                                                                     a -6 = -4
                                                                         a = +2

Hence, oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ is +2. 

Now Fe has the atomic number as 26. Hence, number of electrons in Fe at ground state is 26. 
Electron configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s² = [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s²

When making Fe²⁺, Fe releases 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons in Fe²⁺ is 26 - 2 = 24.
Hence, the electron configuration of Fe²⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶
                                                                      = [Ar] 3d⁶

Hence, the number of 3d electrons of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound is 6.

Kaia, a chemical engineering graduate, has documented all titration procedures in her project report. She refers to this report
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

d. Explicit knowledge

Explanation:

Explicit knowledge is the knowledge that can be easily articulated documented stored in a retrieval system accesses, transmitted and shared with others

Tacit knowledge is the skill developed by an individual based on actual experience such that such knowledge comprise of both facts and perspectives

Hence explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge are complementary

The operations performed by Kaia include documentation, storing in a retrieval system (her project report) and accessing what she documented, this is an example of explicit knowledge.

What components of an endothermic reaction have a higher heat content
xxTIMURxx [149]
Endothermic reaction is the reaction in which the system absorbs energy. The system absorbs heat and cools the surroundings. Reactants are the substances that are involved in the reaction and at the end of the reaction product are formed. 
In the endothermic reaction because heat is absorbed , the products have a higher heat.

Why does electronegativity increase as you move from left to right across
Katen [24]

Answer: increasing number of protons increases the positive charge of the nucleus.

Explanation: because as the electronegativity moves from left to right on the periodic table the protons do increase to make it into a positive charge.
