Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

The speed of sound in water is 350m/s. If a sound wave has the frequency of 50Hz.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Explanation

Let, Wavelength = W,

Given, frequency (f) = 50 Hz, wave velocity (V) = 342 m/s

We know, V = f × W

=> 342 = 50 × W

=> W = 342/50 metre

=> W = 6.84 metre

Question 22 3 p Use Bowen's Reaction Series to describe how different igneous rocks form from a single body of magma. Which spec
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The Bowen's reaction series describes how minerals form in sequential order, forming at higher temperature to a lower temperature. There are two branches of crystallization, one is the continuous branch that is on the right and the other is the discontinuous branch that is on the left.

The minerals that are at the top of the Bowen's reaction series forms at a higher temperature.  

In the discontinuous branch, the first mineral to crystallize from the melt is Olivine that forms at a higher temperature of about 1400°C. After crystallization, some melt remains and undergoes fractional crystallization leading to the formation of Pyroxene. Again, with the remaining melt, it reacts and forms Amphibole, followed by Biotite (mica).

In the continuous branch, the first minerals to form are the calcium-rich minerals and successively forms sodium-rich minerals. These minerals that form at a higher temperature are basic in nature and gradually change into acidic minerals.

From both the branches, it commonly forms the mineral Potassium feldspar. After this, the remaining melt combines with the magma and forms Muscovite (Mica), and at a temperature of about 650°C, it forms a more resistant and stable mineral known as the Quartz.
