+2 is the oxidation number for Zinc
<span>Oxidation Number for a Transition metal = Number of Unpaired d-electrons + Two s-electrons  
</span>[Ar]4s2 3d10 is the electron configuration for zinc. The d-block is full with 10 electrons meaning there are no unpaired d-electrons, so the oxidation number is 0 unpaired d-electrons + 2 s-electrons = +2

Answer:

3. crystal habit and cleavage.

Explanation:

Crystal habit is a distinctive characteristic which is shown in its general shape,  crystallographic forms, how developed each form is.

Cleavage is the ability of a mineral to break in smooth planes parallel to zones of weak bonding. Cleavage in three directions at right angles (90o). Cubic cleavage. Cleavage in three directions not at right angles (120o and 60o).

Calculate the ph of a 0.021 m nacn solution. [ka(hcn) = 4.9  10–10]
ohaa [14]

<span>Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN</span>⁻(aq) + Na⁺<span>(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN</span>⁻ + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻<span>(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN</span>⁻<span>) = 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) =  4.9·10</span>⁻¹⁰<span>.
Kb(CN</span>⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵<span>.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH</span>⁻] / [CN⁻<span>].
[HCN] · [OH</span>⁻<span>] = x.
[CN</span>⁻<span>] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10</span>⁻⁵<span> = x² / (0.021 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH</span>⁻<span>] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.</span>
