Which element is reduced in this reaction? 2kmno4 3na2so3 h2o→2mno2 3na2so4 2koh

1 answer:

3 0

In a redox chemical reaction, one species gets reduced and another gets oxidized. Manganese element is reduced in this reaction.

<h3>What is oxidized and reduced?</h3>

In a redox reaction, the increase or decrease in the oxidation number and electrons results in the reduction and oxidation of the chemical species. The oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously in a reaction.

The oxidation number of Mn in permanganate ion was +8 on the left side and decreased to +4 on the right side of the equation. Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent that has reduced the manganese ion of the permanganate ion.

Therefore, manganese is reduced.

The work function for metallic potassium is 2.3 eV. Calculate the velocity in km/s for electrons ejected from a metallic potassi

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

932.44 km/s

Explanation:

Given that:

The work function of the magnesium = 2.3 eV

Energy in eV can be converted to energy in J as:

1 eV = 1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

So, work function = $2.3\times 1.6022\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.68506\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Using the equation for photoelectric effect as:

$E=\psi _0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2$

Also, $E=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Applying the equation as:

$\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}=\psi _0+\frac {1}{2}\times m\times v^2$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

m is the mass of electron having value $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light being bombarded

$\psi _0=Work\ function$

v is the velocity of electron

Given, $\lambda=260\ nm=260\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Thus, applying values as:

$\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{260\times 10^{-9}}=3.68506\times 10^{-19}+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2$

$3.68506\times \:10^{-19}+\frac{1}{2}\times \:9.11\times \:10^{-31}v^2=\frac{6.626\times \:10^{-34}\times \:3\times \:10^8}{260\times \:10^{-9}}$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2=7.64538\times 10^{-19}-3.68506\times 10^{-19}$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times v^2=3.96032462\times 10^{-19}$

$v^2=0.869446\times 10^{12}$

v = 9.3244 × 10⁵ m/s

Also, 1 m = 0.001 km

The vapor pressure of water at 25.0°c is 23.8 torr. determine the mass of glucose (molar mass = 180 g/mol) needed to add to 500.

svp [43]

Q: A
according to this formula, we can get the mole fraction of water (n):
P(solu) = n Pv(water)
when we have Pv(solu) = 22.8 and Pv(water) = 23.8 so by substitution:
22.8 = n * 23.8
n= 0.958
- we need to get the moles of glucose:
moles of water = 500 g(mass weight) / 18 (molar weight)= 27.7 mol
n = moles of water / ( moles of water + moles of glucose)
0.958 = 27.7 / ( 27.7+ moles of glucose)
0.958 moles of glucose + 26.5 = 27.7
0.968 moles of glucose = 1.2
moles of glucose = 1.253 mol
∴ the mass of glucose = no.of glucose moles x molar mass
= 1.253 x 180 = 225.5 g
Q: B
here we also need to get n (mole fraction of water )by using this formula:
Pv(solu) = n Pv(water)
when we have Pv(solu)=132 & Pv(water)=150 so, by substition:
132= n * 150
n = 0.88
so, mole fraction of solution = 1 - 0.88 = 0.12
and we can get after that the moles of water = (mass weight / molar mass)
- no.moles of water = 85 g / 18 g/mol = 4.7 moles
- total moles in solution = moles of water / moles fraction of water
= 4.7 / 0.88 = 5.34 moles
∴ moles of the solution = total moles in solu - moles of water
= 5.34 - 4.7 = 0.64 moles solute
∴ the molar mass of the solute = mass weight of solute / no.of moles of solute
= 53.8 / 0.64 = 84 g/mole

Q: C

moles of urea (NH2)2 CO = mass weight / molar mass
= 4.49 g / 60 g /mol
= 0.07 mol
moles of methanol = mass weight / molar mass
= 39.9 g / 32 g/mol = 1.25 mol
moles fraction of methanol = moles of methanol / (moles of methanol + moles of urea )
moles fraction of methanol = 1.25 / ( 1.25+0.07) = 0.95
by substitution in Pv formula we will be able to get the vapour pressure of the solu :
Pv(solu) = n P°v
Pv(solu) = 0.95 * 89 mm Hg
∴Pv(solu) = 84.55 mmHg

What is the best way to reduce the activation energy?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

The method of hurrying up a reaction by decreasing its activation energy is called as catalysis, and the circumstance that's added to reduce the activation energy is termed as the catalyst.

Explanation:

Organic catalysts are named as enzymes. Enzymes are protein particles in cells which act as catalysts. Enzymes are proteid particles in groups which act as catalysts. Enzymes rush up biochemical effects in the thing but do not become used up in the method. Nearly all biochemical effects in living things require enzymes. Among an enzyme, biochemical effects go extremely quicker than they would without the enzyme.

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)

bixtya [17]

Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
