(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.

Give the chemical symbol for the element with the ground‑state electron configuration [ Ar ] 4 s 2 3 d 1 . symbol: Determine the
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Sc (Scandium) has the given electronic configuration.

Explanation:

The given electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^{2}3d^{1}.

The last electron enters the d-subshell and hence is a d-block element known as Scandium with chemical symbol Sc.

For 4s subshell

n=4,l=0 and m ranges from -l to +l so m=0.

For 3d subshell

n=3,l=2 and m ranges from -l to +l so m can take values -2,-1,0,+1,+2

Note:

l values for subshells:

s : 0

p : 1

d : 2

f : 3 and so on.
