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⁻

The enthalpy change for converting 1.00 mol of ice at -50.0 ∘c to water at 60.0∘c is ________ kj. the specific heats of ice, wat
guajiro [1.7K]
First, we have to get:

1- The heat required to increase T of ice from -50 to 0 °C:

according to q formula:

q1 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of ice = mol * molar mass

                                             =  1 mol * 18 mol/g

                                            = 18 g

and C is the specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 J/g-K

and ΔT change in temperature = 0- (-50) = 50°C

by substitution:

∴q1 = 18 g * 2.09 J/g-K *50°C

       = 1881 J = 1.881 KJ

2- the heat required to melt this mass of ice is :

q2 = n*ΔHfus 

when n is the number of moles of ice = 1 mol

and ΔHfus = 6.01 KJ/mol

by substitution:

q2 = 1 mol * 6.01 KJ/mol

     = 6.01 KJ

3- the heat required to increase the water temperature from 0°C to 60 °C is:

q3 = m*C*ΔT

when m is the mass of water = 18 g 

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g-K

ΔT is the change of Temperature of water = 60°C - 0°C = 60°C

by substitution:

∴q3 = 18 g * 4.18 J/g-K * 60°C

      = 4514 J = 4.514 KJ

∴the total change of enthalpy = q1+q2+q3

                                                  = 1.881 KJ  +6.01 KJ + 4.514 KJ

                                                  = 12.405 KJ

Jati has a sample of a solid.Suggest how he could find out weather the solid is a pure substance or a mixture of substances?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The melting point range of a substance is the temperature range from which the first crystal starts to melt, to the temperature at which the last crystal finishes melting. An impure substance is a type of mixture, so melting points can be used to find out if a substance is pure or impure.
