A tetravalent element forms monoxide and...

A tetravalent element forms monoxide and dioxide with oxygen. When air is passed over heated element (1273 K), producer gas is obtained. Monoxide of the element is a powerful reducing agent and reduces ferric oxide to iron
Identify the element and write formulae of its monoxide and dioxide. Write chemical equations for the formation of producer gas and reduction of ferric oxide with the monoxide.

To solve the problem step by step, we will identify the tetravalent element, write the formulae for its monoxide and dioxide, and provide the chemical equations for the formation of producer gas and the reduction of ferric oxide. ### Step 1: Identify the Tetravalent Element The question states that the element is tetravalent and forms both monoxide and dioxide with oxygen. The most common tetravalent element that fits this description is **carbon (C)**. - **Monoxide of carbon:** CO (carbon monoxide) - **Dioxide of carbon:** CO₂ (carbon dioxide) ...

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions given below , Stable equilibrium is of various types . Mechanical equilibrium is achieved when all particles are at rest and total potential energy of the system is minimum . At any stage where particles are at rest but the system is not at stable equilibrium as it can reduce its potential energy by reverting to another position, is called metastable equilibrium . Thermal equilibrium is result from the absence of temperature gradients in the system. Chemical equilibrium is obtained when no further reaction occurs between reacting substances, i.e forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal. When steam with solid iron at high temperature Fe_3O_4(s) and hydrogen gas are produced . But the reaction never goes to completion. This is because as the products are formed the reaction proceeds in reverse direction and when rate of reverse reaction is equal to rate of forward reaction , the concentration of reactants and products become constant and equilibrium is reached. The primary objective of the passage is
