(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:
Potential energy can be defined as the energy in a body due to its position
In simple terms potential energy is the energy at rest
Explanation: Examples ;
- A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched.
- A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.
A negative
That's the answer
