The definition of a transition metal is that it must have an incompleted sub-level in one or more of its oxidation states. As zinc has a completed sub-level at all oxidative states, so it can't be considered a transition metal.
Answer:
15 grams of water
Explanation:
15 grams of water of water would lose heat the faster compared to higher masses of water.
Water generally is a poor conductor heat.
- To heat up a unit of water, significant amount of energy must be added to the body of water.
- With time, the body continues to increase in temperature.
- A 500g mass of water will take more time to lose heat.
Answer:
decreased by a factor of 10
Explanation:
pH is defined in such a way that;
pH= −log10(H)
Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions
Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,
By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H
- if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
- if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M
Therefore, 0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01
Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10
Answer: The fourth material that is added to the blast furnace is HOT AIR which provides OXYGEN for used for combustion of carbon (Coke).
Explanation:
Iron is the second most abundant metal found in the earth's crust after aluminium. It is not found in the free metallic state but are extracted from rocks which are rich in iron that contains other materials. These are known are iron ores and the most common iron ores are haematite ( Fe2O3).
Iron can be extracted from its ore with the used of blast furnace. The materials used for extraction of iron includes:
--> Coke
--> haematite( iron ore)
--> limestone and
--> Hot air.
The iron ore is first roasted in air so that iron(III)oxide is produced. The iron(III)oxide is then mixed with coke and limestone and heated to a very high temperature. Hot air is introduced into it from the bottom of the furnace. The coke is oxidizes the the oxygen in the hot air blast to liberate carbondioxide.
