(a)  (i) Zinc blende is mainly Zinc sulphide and in industry it is converted to ZnO by flames to burn off the sulphur as SO2 which is then used to make sulphuric acid.

(ii)   Reduction of ZnO to Zn:-

2ZnO + C = CO2 + 2Zn

(b) This is called sacrificial anodic protection.  The zinc ( which is more reactive than iron) when in contact with the oxygen in the air is oxidised and in the process loses its electrons. These travel  through the electrolyte to the iron. The electrons then reduce any iron oxide to iron: fe2+ + 2e  ---> Fe.

Write the chemical equation for the dissolution reaction of solid iron(iii) hydroxide in water. include the phases of all specie
Allushta [10]
When solid <span>iron (iii) hydroxide is dissolved into water, it ionizes or it dissociates into ions. These ions are the iron (iii) ions and the hydroxide ions. Iron(III) oxide is classified as a base when in aqueous solution since it produces hydroxide ions. It is a weak base so it does not completely dissociate into the solution. The dissociation equation would be:

Fe(OH)3 <-----> Fe3+ + OH-

To write a complete reaction, the reaction should be balanced wherein the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side and the product side should be equal. Also, the phases of the substances should be written. We do as follows:

</span>
Fe(OH)3 (s)  <-----> Fe3+ (aq) + 3OH- (aq)
