(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.
When an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle it decay into an atom with atomic number 2 less and mass number 4 less. Thus Thorium 230 decay as follows.
230 90Th -------> 226 88Th + 4 2 He
thorium is in the atomic number 90 thus it during alpha decay it reduces to atomic number 88 while its 230 mass number reduces to 226
