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⁻

LenKa [72]

Answer:

pH = 8.34

Explanation:

The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>

<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>

Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:

pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32

As the pH of amphoteric salts is:

pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2

<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>

Given that hclo4 is a strong acid, how would you classify the basicity of clo−4?
Mandarinka [93]
As a conjugate base of a strong acid,ClO4-would be classified as having a negligible basicity. The basicity of a chemical species is normally expressed by the acidity of the conjugate acid. The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions, which can be produced by one molecule of the acid.

How are protons and neutrons similar? How are they different?
ad-work [718]
Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge.
