Zinc oxide absorbs UV radiation through a process of electron excitation called band-gap absorption. Since energy always has to be released somewhere, and UV rays are pretty fierce, zinc oxide absorbs the UV rays and turns them into comparably harmless infrared, which it then gets rid of as heat.
What else can I help you with?
Which poisonous gas also helps to reduce some of the zinc oxide inside the furnace?
Well, isn't that an interesting question. The poisonous gas you're referring to is carbon monoxide. It not only helps reduce zinc oxide in the furnace but also plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Remember, every element has its own unique purpose in the grand scheme of things.
How do you separate copper from copper oxide?
I think you mean how do you extract copper from copper oxide, if so here's your answer. Take your copper oxide and heat it with something that is more reactive than copper. Carbon is a good example. The more reactive carbon will oxidise, taking the oxygen from the copper oxide leaving copper. copper oxide + carbon --> copper + carbon dioxide 2Cu0 + C --> 2Cu + CO2
Things made of zinc?
Some common things made of zinc include galvanized steel (used in construction), zinc oxide (used in sunscreen and cosmetics), and zinc-carbon batteries. Zinc is also commonly used in alloys to make products like brass and bronze.
What name is given to those metal oxides which show basic as well acidic behaviour?
Amphoteric oxides are metal oxides that exhibit both acidic and basic behavior depending on the pH of the solution. Examples include zinc oxide and aluminum oxide.
What is zinc oxide?
ZnOZinc oxide, ZnO, is a large band gap semiconductor. It is commonly found in things like sunscreen because it absorbs UV light (preventing the harmful rays from reaching your skin). For more information, see the Web Links below this answer.

Zinc sulfate is produced by reacting zinc oxide with which substance?
Well, isn't that a happy little question! Zinc sulfate is produced by reacting zinc oxide with sulfuric acid. Just like mixing colors on your palette, combining these two substances creates a new compound that can be used for various purposes. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in chemistry!
Supply zinc oxide and chloride?
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a white powder commonly used in ceramics, rubber, and skincare products for its UV-protection and soothing properties. Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) is a white crystalline solid used in industrial processes like soldering and metal coating, as well as in specialized applications like deodorants and disinfectants due to its antimicrobial properties.

Why does the moon seem to change shape from week to week?
well, the moon and sun block it
What is calcimine?
Calcimine is a white or tinted liquid that contains zinc oxide, water, glue as well as coloring matter. It is used as a cleaner for walls and ceilings.

How do you make zinc cream?
u need to do is get a bottle of sunscreen any type as long as it has sunscreen in it your good then you put the colour food colouring you want in it and then you have you home made sunscreen take my advice no on Else's
Does zinc oxide and octinoxate in sunscreen make your skin dry?
Mild AstringentThe benefit of zinc as a mild astringent is well noted. An astringent is a chemical substance that shrinks, constricts, or tightens body tissues.Zinc oxide has this mild astringent property. It acts as a skin-drying agent and can act as a skin anti-inflammatory. Zinc oxide also helps sooth the skin from itching, rashes, and moist skin conditions such as diaper rash.
Does zinc usually combine with copper?
Alloys of zinc and copper are well known. There are no chemical compounds of zinc and copper.
