This is redox reaction because elements change their oxidation states (barium and zinc).
</span>b) Oxidation reaction: Ba⁰ → Ba²⁺ + 2e⁻.
Reduction reaction: Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn⁰.
c) Barium is oxidized (increase of oxidation number) and zinc is reduced (decrease of oxidation number).

Answer: 16700 Joules
Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.
Q = Heat absorbed = ?
m = mass of sand = 2 kg
c = heat capacity =
Initial temperature = =
Final temperature= =
Change in temperature ,
Putting in the values, we get:
16700 J of energy must be added to a 2-kilogram pile of it to increase its temperature from 40°C to 50°C
Answer: The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behaviour. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
Explanation:
Electrically and thermally conductive
Answer: C. a compound in which one or more carbon atoms have double or triple bonds.
Explanation:
Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which single bond is present between C-C atoms. The general formula used for these hydrocarbons is . Example:
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent bonds present between carbon and carbon atoms. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula used for these hydrocarbons is and respectively. Example:
Both the hydrocarbons are not soluble in water as they are non polar in nature unlike water which is polar.
Cycloalkanes are also saturated hydrocarbons as single bond is present between C-C atoms.
Thus the correct statement is An unsaturated hydrocarbon is a compound in which one or more carbon atoms have double or triple bonds.
