Zr has atomic number 40 , so it need to lose 4 electrons to gain noble gas configuration of the noble gas Kr
Hello, Lindaparker, a spit could form from a rocky headland where prevailing winds would
blow at an angle to the rocky headland, gradually depositing sand and
shingle at that place. A spit is a permanent land form resulting
from marine deposition and wind deposition. It is usually a long and
narrow accumulation of sand or shingle with one joined to the land and
the other end projecting at a narrow angle out into the sea. Salt marshes sometimes form on the sheltered side of a spit.
In order to obtain solid NaCl, the student should do a few steps.
First, he/she should do filtration. Pass the mixture through a filter paper, where all the sand should be filtered out already because they're not dissolved in the solution plus they're too small to pass through the filter paper.
Next, the filtrate should be left with NaCl (aqueous state). To seperate NaCl with the liquid, the student can either do evaporation or crystallization, depending on how pure or fast he/she wants the results to be. Evaporation involves heating the beaker or whatever apparatus under the bunsen burner until all the liquid has evaporated. Then, some white powder should be left, they're NaCl solid. For crystallization, the student should just put the beaker on a room condition environment, and wait. They might have to wait a month or so for the liquid to completely evaporate itself and left with clear and pure NaCl crystals.
