In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons, oxygen has 6
3Zn + 8HNO3 ---> 3Zn(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO IF IT IS COLD AND DILUT NITRIC ACID .
IF IT IS HOT AND CONCENTRATED THEN:
Zn+ 4HNO3 ---> Zn(NO3)2 +2H2O +2NO2
Answer:
0.72 g of the lower oxide gave 0.8 g of higher oxide when oxidised. ... Thus, 90g of lower oxide contains as much metal as 100g of higher oxide, i.e., 80g (given). Hence, 80g of metal combines with 10g of oxygen in the lower oxide and 20g of oxygen in the higher oxide.
