Answer:

reduced

Explanation:

To win the metallic product from the oxide, it demands that the metal be reduced.

During reduction a metal will:

  • gain electrons.
  • there would be removal of oxygen from the specie
  • there would be decrease in oxidation number of the atom
  • decrease in the number of electronegative atom surrounding the element.

The specie that is reduced will become the oxidant and reducing agent in the chemical reaction.

A sample of cinnabar, an ore containing mercury, weighs 681 grams. After smelting, it yields 587 grams of pure mercury. What is
lara [203]

Answer:

86.2% of Hg in the ore

Explanation:

Percent composition is defined as one hundred times the ratio between mass of an element in a compound and total mass of the compound. Formula is:

% composition = \frac{Mass element}{Total mass} *100% composition =  \frac{Mass Element}{Total Mass} *100

If an ore weights 681g and contains 587g of mercury, percent composition is:

(587g Hg / 681g) × 100 = <em>86.2% of Hg in the ore</em>

The salt that is formed during the reaction between potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid is
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius, an acid is a substance that dissociates to give protons, whereas a base dissociates to give hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.

Therefore, a chemical reaction in which an Arrhenius acid reacts with an Arrhenius base to give salt and water, is known as a Neutralization reaction.

For example: <u>Neutralization reaction of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)</u>

A strong acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with a strong base, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to give salt, sodium chloride (NaCl) and water (H₂O).

<em>The chemical equation for this Neutralization reaction:</em>

HCl (acid) + NaOH (Base) → NaCl (Salt) + H₂O (Water)

<u />

<u>Therefore, </u><u>sodium chloride (NaCl) is the salt formed</u><u> during the chemical reaction of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).</u>

As they pass through the rock cycle, atoms:
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Atoms are the basic structures that are combined to form minerals, which are further accumulated giving rise to the formation of rocks. These atoms plays a significant role in the formation of rock and their significant characteristics.

When atoms are passed through the rock cycle, they are not able to move at the same rate, but they can move at a different rate. When a rock changes from one kind to another, its constituent minerals and atoms also alters, forming a different rock type with variable characteristics and properties.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

"Construct a multistep synthetic route from ethylbenzene to (2-bromoethyl)benzene by dragging the appropriate items into the bin
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The best reagents that are used for the conversion of ethylbenzene to (2-bromoethyl)benzene is shown in the first diagram attached.

Explanation:

Concepts and reason

The concept used to solve this problem is by using the given reagents, possible products will be formed in each step and then label it exactly in the given boxes in order to form the exact product.

Here, the starting reactant is ethyl benzene and the final product is (2-bromoethyl)benzene.

Fundamentals

Bromine molecule is used for bromination of alkene. Trans addition takes place.

Addition of HBr to the double bond forms an alkyl bromide.

Potassium tertiary butoxide is a sterically hindered base.

Bromination of alkane in the presence of sunlight gives radical substitution.

NBS (N-bromosuccinimide) is used for the allylic bromination.

The reaction is as shown in the second attachment(pictures 2,3 and 4).
