This is an example of displacement reaction

Explanation:

The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.

AB + C -----> AC +B

2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2

This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.

In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.

The process of ____ occurs when magma, lava, or a solute in a solution becomes a solid and the internal components will arrange

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

D. Crystallization

Explanation:

Let's clarify the irrelevant terms first.

unification: This term has nothing to do with chemistry at all
lithification: When the problem mentions magma and lava, you might think that this term is related to the process here. However, 'lithification' do have a precise meaning in geology. It refers to the process where sediments collapses into one single rock under pressure, which has nothing to do with the process mentioned here.

Now, for 2 terms that might confuse you: 'solidification' and 'crystallization' these also has precise scientific definition

Solidification is defined the process where substances in liquid phase changes its phase to solid. On first glance, this answer might seems correct, and yes, it is correct for this question. But not the most correct.

The keyword here is

'the internal components will arrange its self in an organized pattern.'

Crystallization is a special case of Solidification where the atoms or molecules of liquid solidify by spontaneously arrange themselves in periodic, ordered, and organized pattern. It might or might not happen during solidification depending on cooling rate, viscosity of liquid, and other factors.

So, Crystallization is the most correct answer here.

you rent a car in Germany with a gas mileage rating of 12.8km/L. What is its rating in miles per gallon?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

so one liter is about 2. something gallons so at 12.8 km/l you would get about 30 mpg which is insane but yeah

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have 8 electrons (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have 4 valence electrons, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an additional carbon. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have more area of interaction for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give more energy to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!
