Answer: a) 
b) 1 mole of 
is produced.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The skeletal equation is:
The balanced equation will be:
Thus the coefficients are 2, 3 , 10 , 4 , 3 , 2 and 5.
b) Oxidation: 
Reduction: 
Net reaction: 
When 1 mole of 
is produced, 1 mole of is produced.
Answer:
2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)
Explanation:
Chlorine is a diatomic halogen gas known for its greenish-yellow colour. It has a pungent smell and is only moderately soluble in water.
It is a very reactive gas and is never found in free state in nature.
Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by oxidation of hydrochloric acid using KMnO4 as follows;
2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)
The set up does not need to be heated.
Answer:
the second one seems right :)
Explanation:
Answer : Option 1) The true statement is each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond and the actual structure of format is an average of the two resonance forms.
Explanation : The actual structure of formate is found to be a resonance hybrid of the two resonating forms. The actual structure for formate do not switches back and forth between two resonance forms.
The O atom in the formate molecule with one bond and three lone pairs, in the resonance form left with reference to the attached image, gets changed into O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs.
Again, the O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs on the resonance form left, changed into O atom with one bond and three lone pairs. It concludes that each carbon-oxygen bond is neither a single bond nor a double bond; each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.
Also, it is seen that each oxygen atom does not have neither a double bond nor a single bond 50% of the time.
