Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: In order to form coal, two processes might be undergone and they are as follows-

Peatification- It is the process by which the remains of trees and plants undergoes partial decomposition in a swampy type of environment, conserving organic matter. It is the first stage of coal formation.
Coalification- It is the process of complete transformation of the dead remains of plants and trees into coal.

Thus the correct answer is option (D).

Nitrogen dioxide is a red-brown gas responsible for the brown color of smog. A container of nitrogen dioxide that is at low pres

____ [38]

Answer:

Initially $1.51\times 10^{-2} moles$ of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .

Explanation:

Volume of the container at low pressure and at room temperature = $V_1=3.4 L$

Number of moles in the container = $n_1$

After more addition of nitrogen gas at the same pressure and temperature.

Volume of the container after addition = $V_2=5.11 L$

Number of moles in the container after addition= $n_2=2.28\times 10^{-2} mol$

Applying Avogadro's law:

$\frac{Volume}{Moles}=constant$ (at constant pressure and temperature)

$\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$

$n_1=\frac{V_1\times n_2}{V_2}=\frac{3.4 L\times 2.28\times 10^{-2} mol}{5.11 L}$

$n_1=1.51\times 10^{-2} mol$

Initially $1.51\times 10^{-2} moles$ of nitrogen dioxide were in the container .

Study this chemical reaction: (aq)(s)(s)(aq) Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that hap

disa [49]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction ;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

What is the Nobel gas notation for selenium

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

Explanation:

The noble gas notation is used for the shortest electronic configuration of other periodic table elements.

For example:

The atomic number of Argon is 18, and its electronic configuration is,

Ar₁₈ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

The atomic number of selenium is 34, its electronic configuration is,

Se₃₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

By using the noble gas notation, electronic configuration of selenium can be written is shortest form.

Se =[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁴

This electronic configuration is also called abbreviated electronic configuration.
