Answer : The correct option is, (A) $Si_3N_4$

Explanation :

Trisilicon tetranitride is a covalent compound because sharing of electrons takes place between silicon and nitrogen. Both the elements are non-metals and hence, will form a covalent bond.

The formula of covalent compound is given by :

The less electronegative element is written first.
The more electronegative element is written next.
If atoms of an element is greater than 1 that means their prefixes are written in the respective element's subscript.

As per given name of compound, the less electronegative element is 'Si' and more electronegative element is 'N'.

So, the chemical formula of trisilicon tetranitride is, $Si_3N_4$

The standard reduction potentials for two half-cells involving iron are: given below. Fe2+ (aq) + 2e– ® Fe (s) Eο = –0.44 V Fe3+

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fe⁺² (aq) + 2e⁻ = Fe (s) ; E⁰ = - .44 V

Fe⁺³ (aq) + e⁻ = ® Fe²⁺ (aq) ; E⁰ = + .77 V

Reduction potential of second reaction is more , so it will take place , ie Fe⁺³ will be reduced and Fe will be oxidised .

So reaction in the combined cell will be

2Fe⁺³ + Fe = 3Fe⁺²

cell potential = .77 - ( - .44 )

= 1.21 V .

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:C.He should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour.

Explanation:

The statement of the question clearly states that chloroform is sensitive to light and it's vapour is toxic.

If a substance is sensitive to light, then it must be stored in a dark bottle. This is because. If a substance that is sensitive to light is stored in a transparent container, it may be decomposed by light.

Being a substance whose fumes are toxic, Malik should pour the liquid in a fumes hood so that he does not inhale the fumes.
