Beta particle in the reaction
Sodium chloride because it contains the most reactive metal(sodium) and most reactive non-metal(chlorine).
<span>The surface area is 109.3 square centimeters or 0.01093 square meters. The area formula requires that we use the radius of the disc. We can find the radius by diving the diameter by 2, so radius = 11.8/2 or 5.9 cm. We can use 3.14 as an approximation for π. The surface area is 3.14 * (5.9*5.9).
Since the diameter is given in cm, the surface area units are in square centimeters. To convert to meters, divide any measurement in centimeters by 100, but we need to convert to "square" meters, so we need to divide our square centimeters by 100 * 100, or by 10,000. Dividing 109.3 by 10,000 results in 0.01093 square "meters".</span>
First, calculating the amount of zinc carbonate by multiplying the given mass of the ore by the percent zinc carbonate.
mass of zinc carbonate = (976 tons)(0.78)
= 761.28 tons
Then, calculate for %Zn in zinc carbonate
%Zn = ((65.38) / (125.39)) x 100%
% Zn = 52.141%
tons of Zn from the sample,
mass of Zn = (761.28 tons)(0.52141)
= 396.94 tons Zn
