What is the oxidation number for zinc? How does zinc's electron configuration account for this oxidation number?

1 answer:

8 0

+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

Manganese nodules are an example of A. Terrigenous sediment B. Biogenous sediment C. Hydrogenous sediment D. Oil products

I think the correct answer would be hydrogenous sediment. These sediments are produced when minerals that are dissolved solidify via reaction with water, especially seawater. Other examples are evaporites and oolites. Hope this answers the question.

Volume occupied 3.52x10^32 moluchles<br>of Mathane (CH4)<br>1) At STP

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

volume = 13097674418.528dm³

Explanation:

n = (3.52)*10^32/(6.02)*10^23)

n = (584717607.97)

n = volume /molar volume

molar volume at stp = 22.4dm³

volume= 584717607.97 x 22.4

volume = 13097674418.528dm³

A football field is about 100 m long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast were they running ?

madam [21]

Hi Alex, thanks for asking a question here on Brainly!

We can figure how the fast the person is running by dividing the minutes by the seconds.

$\frac{5m}{sec}$
= $\frac{300m}{min}$
= $\frac{18km}{hr}$

The person was running 18 km/hr. ✅

Hope that helps! ★ If you have further questions about this question or need more help, feel free to comment below or post another question and send the link to me. -UnicornFudge aka Nadia.

What volume of a 1.0 M HCl is required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of a 1.0 M KOH? 50.0 ml 25.0 ml 75.0 ml 100 ml 1.0 ml

lys-0071 [83]

No need 4 calculatinh
the volume needed is 25.o ml coz it requires the same amt of vol to neutralise koh
