Answer:

Cation = Mn³⁺

Anion = CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

An ionic compound is formed by a combination of positive and negative ions that are held together by ionic bonds.

The positively charged ions have a tendency to lose electrons and are called cations. In contrast the negatively charged ions called anions show a tendency to accept or attract electrons. In general, metals show a propensity to lose electrons thereby forming cations.

The given compound is: Mn₂(CO₃)₃ i.e. manganese carbonate

Here, manganese Mn is a transition metal and therefore will be the cation.

The anion is the polyatomic species, carbonate which carries a charge of -2.

Since the molecule is neutral the charges need to be balanced. If the charge on Mn is say'x' then:

2x +(3)(-2) = 0

i.e. x = +3

Hence:

Cation = Mn³⁺

Anion = CO₃²⁻

n a certain city, electricity costs $0.18 per kW·h. What is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 6.50 hours

Bond [772]

Consumption of power in one day = $100 W \times 6.5 h = 650 Wh$

Consumption of power in one year = $100 W \times 6.5 h\times 365 = 237250 Wh$

Since, $1 Wh = 0.001 kWh$ . So,

$237250 Wh = 237.25 kWh$

Given that $1 kWh$ = $$0.18$

So, for $237.25 kWh$ :

$237.25 kWh\times$ $ $0.18/ kWh$ = $ $42.705$

Hence, the annual cost is $ $42.705$ .

Consumption of power in one day = $25 W \times 6.5 h = 162.5 Wh$

Consumption of power in one year = $25 W \times 6.5 h\times 365 = 59312.5 Wh$

Since, $1 Wh = 0.001 kWh$ . So,

$59312.5 Wh = 59.3125 kWh$

Given that $1 kWh$ = $$0.18$

So, for $59.3125 kWh$ :

$59.3125 kWh\times$ $ $0.18/ kWh$ = $ $10.676$

Hence, the annual cost is $ $10.676$ .

02 (s) + Pb(s) — PbO2(s) find the reduced and oxidized reactants

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Oxygen is oxidizing gent and itself get reduced while lead is reducing agent and itself get oxidize.

Explanation:

Chemical equation with oxidation state:

O⁰₂(s) + Pb⁰ (s) → Pb⁺⁴O₂⁻²(s)

Oxidizing agent:

Oxidizing agents, oxidize the other substance and itself get reduced. They can be identify by just looking the oxidation state. If oxidation state is decreased on the right side it means substance gain the electron and get reduced.

Reducing agent:

Reducing agents, reduce the other substance and itself get oxidize. They can be identify by just looking the oxidation state. If oxidation state is increased on the right side it means substance lose the electron and oxidation state increased.

In given chemical equation, oxygen and lead were in neutral form they react and form lead dioxide. In this product oxygen is oxidizing gent and itself get reduced and oxidation state change from 0 to -2 while lead is reducing agent, itself get oxidize and oxidation state change from o to +4.

Calculate the mass percent of calcium chloride in 8.87 g of calcium chloride in 65.1 g of water

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

11.99 % ≅ 12.0%.

Explanation:

∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.

mass of solute (CaCl₂) = 8.87 g & mass of solution = 8.87 g + 65.1 g = 73.97 g.

<em>∴ mass % of (CaCl₂) = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100 </em>= ( 8.87 g/ 73.97 g) x 100 = <em>11.99 % ≅ 12.0%.</em>
