Answer:

So a compound is 52% Zinc(Zn), 9.6% Carbon(C), and 38.4% Oxygen (O). Let’s first start off by assuming that we have 100 g of this compound. This means that we have 52 g of Zinc, 9.6 g of Carbon, and 38.4 g of Oxygen.Zinc = 65.38 g/molCarbon = 12 g/molOxygen = 16 g/molThis means we have:52 g of Zn(1 mol Zn/65.38 g of Zn) ≈0.8 mol of Zn.9.6 g of C(1 mol C/12 g of C) = 0.8 mol of C38.4 g of O(1 mol of O/16 g of O) = 2.4 mol of O.

Explanation:

What we want to do next is divide each element by the common factor of all of them, which is 0.8. In most cases, you divide each element by the element with the least amount of moles. After we divide each by 0.8, you’ll notice you have 1 Zn, 1 C, and 3 O. This gives you the empirical formula of ZnCO3, or Zinc Carbonate.

Are nails in a jar with water a chemical change
Digiron [165]
I would say it is a chemical change because after a while, the nails start to rust. Now they only rust after about a week though. But rust is a chemical change.

Solving part-1 only

#1

KMnO_4

  • Transition metal is Manganese (Mn)

#2

Actually it's the oxidation number of Mn

Let's find how?

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1+4(-2)=0

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x+1-8=0

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x-7=0

\\ \tt\Rrightarrow x=+7

  • x is the oxidation number

#3

  • Purple as per the color of potassium permanganate

#4

\boxed{\begin{array}{c|c|c}\boxed{\bf Tube} &\boxed{\bf Charge} &\boxed{\bf No\:of\; electrons\: loss}\\ \sf 2 &\sf +6 &\sf 6e^-\\ \sf 3& \sf +2 &\sf 2e- \\ \sf 4 &\sf 4 &\sf 4e^-\end{array}}
