For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

hjlf

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Explanation :

The given two chemical reactions are:

(1) 2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)

(2) 3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)

First we are multiplying reaction 1 by 3, and reaction 2 by 2, we get:

(1)

(2) 6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Now we are adding both the reactions, we get the overall chemical reaction.

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6MnO_2(s)+6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

The  MnO_2 is common on both side, by cancelling it, we get:

The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)

Why must contact lenses be removed before you enter a chemistry laboratory?
RUDIKE [14]
The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)

How many moles are in 8.2 x 10^22molecules of N2I6?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

First, find out how many moles of N2I6 you have. Then convert that to grams.

molar mass N2I6 = 789 g

moles N2I6 = 8.2x1022 molecules N2I6 x 1 mole/6.02x1023 molecules = 1.36x10-1 moles = 0.136 moles

grams N2I6 = 0.136 moles x 789 g/mole = 107 g = 110 g (to 2 significant figures)
