2HCl (aq) + Zn²⁺   ⇒  ZnCl₂  + 2H⁺         Total Reaction 
    
Leo goes Ger (Lose electron oxidize, Gain electron reduction)

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻  ⇒ Zn     Oxidation half-reaction 

2H ⇒ 2H⁺ + 2e⁻       Reduction half-reaction

What’s the electron configuration of an N-3 ion
Alla [95]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6

Explanation:

The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.

Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.

A slurry of flakes soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage are 75kg and 125kg respectively.

Explanation:

Let state the given parameters;

Let A= solvent (hexane)

B= solid(inert soiid)

C= solvent(oil)

F_{solution} = mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

<u>Feed Phase:</u>

Total feed (i.e slurry of flakes soybeans)= 100kg

B= mass of solid =75 kg

F= mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

 = 25kg

Mass ratio of oil to solution Y_{F} =\frac{Mass C}{Mass (A+C)}

mass of oil (C) =25 × 0.1 wt = 2.5kg

mass of hexane  in feed = 25 ×  0.9 =22.5kg + 2.5 =25kg

therefore  Y_{F} = \frac{2.5}{25}

= 0.1

mass ratio of solid to solution Y_{A}  =  \frac{Mass A}{Mass (A+C)}=[tex]\frac{75}{25}

=3

<u>Solvent Phase:</u>

C= Mass of oil= 0(kg)

A= Mass of hexane = 100kg

mass of solutions = A+C = 0+100kg

solvent= 100kg

<u>Underflow:</u>

underflow = L₁ = (unknown) ???

L₁ = E₁ + B

the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg

i.e N₁ = \frac{mass B}{mass(A+C)}

solution in underflow E₁ = Mass (A+C)

<u>Overflow:</u>

Overflow = V₁ = (unknown) ???

solution in overflow V₁ = Mass (A+C)

This is because, B = 0 in overflow

Solid Balance: (since the solid is inert, then is said to be same in feed & underflow).

solid in feed = solid in underflow = 75

75=  E₁ × N₁

75 =  E₁ × 1.5

E₁ = 50kg

Underflow L₁ = E₁ × B

= 50 + 75

=125kg

The Overall Balance: Feed + Solvent = underflow + overflow

100 + 100 = 125 + V₁

V₁ = 75kg

Which group of extremophiles does thermus aquaticus belong to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The correct answer is thermophiles.

Explanation:

Thermus aquaticus are heat resistant bacteria because these bacteria can survive under adverse environmental conditions like high temperature.

These bacteria belong to one of the most heat-loving groups of extremophiles that are thermophiles. Thermophiles are present in volcanic soil, geysers and around deep-sea vents where the temperature is extremely high.

Thermus aquaticus bacteria is used to manufacture an enzyme called Taq DNA polymerase, which is heat resistant and also an important factor in molecular biology.
