(a) (i) Zinc blende is mainly Zinc sulphide and in industry it is converted to ZnO by flames to burn off the sulphur as SO2 which is then used to make sulphuric acid.
(ii) Reduction of ZnO to Zn:-
2ZnO + C = CO2 + 2Zn
(b) This is called sacrificial anodic protection. The zinc ( which is more reactive than iron) when in contact with the oxygen in the air is oxidised and in the process loses its electrons. These travel through the electrolyte to the iron. The electrons then reduce any iron oxide to iron: fe2+ + 2e ---> Fe.
Answer:
Small-scale convection currents arise from uneven heating on a smaller scale. This kind of heating occurs along a coast and in the mountains. Small-scale convection currents cause local winds. Local winds blow over a much smaller area and change direction and speed over a shorter period of time than global winds.
Maybe that will help you answer the question.
excess hydrogen ions can break chemical bonds
, can change the shape of large complex molecules, rendering them nonfunctional and can disrupt tissue function.
<span>Answer:
K because it is metal and typically forms ionic bonds. Ar is also unlikely to form any bonds because it has a full outer shell of electrons, but it can form covalent bonds.</span>
