In the extraction of iron, hot air is introduced into the blast furnace through?
valves
open-hearths
arcs
tuyeres
Correct answer is D
Pre-heated air at about 600ºC is blown into the furnaces from the bottom through the tuyeres.
Wrought iron is obtained by heating cast iron in a furnace with?
magnetite
haematite
carbon(ii)oxide
calcium trioxosilicate(iv)
Correct answer is B
Cast iron + haematite = wrought iron
Electrons enter into orbitals in order of increasing energy as exemplified by?
1S22S22PX22py22pz03s0
1S22S22PX22py12pz13s0
1S22S22PX12py12pz13s1
1S22S22PX22py22pz03s1
Correct answer is B
Shells and subshells are filled in energy level order, so electrons will fill the 2p subshell before the 3s shell.
And the x subshell before the y and z.
The equation above illustrates
precipitation
hydration
hydrolysis
neutralization
Correct answer is D
A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water.
