Distillation can be used to prepare pure water from tap water by first, evaporating the tap water at T = 100 C, by this only the pure water will be evaporated. then condensing the evaporated water by help of an ice bath to collect the pure water that is distilled
An alloy is the solid solution of a metal or non-metal dissolved in a metal.
<span>The balance format is
4NH3+ 5O2 -------> 4NO + 6H2O </span>
Answer:
The oxidation number of the metal decreases
2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO
The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO
Explanation:
When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal
An example of a metal being reduced is;
2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO
In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.
