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 d-metals iron, copper, and manganese form cations with different oxidation states. For this reason, they are found in many o
choli [55]

Answer:

They have electrons in their 3d- and 4s-orbital for bond formation.

Explanation:

d- metals or transition metal are metal which form ion with partially filled d-orbital. Examples are iron and manganese.

The metals have 2 electrons in their 4s orbital. If only this is used for bonding, they will form compounds where they have oxidation State of +2 as seen in MnO.

If two 4s and one of 3d electrons are used, oxidation state of +3 is formed as seen in FeCl3.

If two 2s electron I used with two 3d electrons, compound with oxidation state of +4 is formed as seen in MnO2

2 C4H10 + 13 O2--> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

Explanation:

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ --> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

To find the number of CO₂ molecules, you need to start with 100 grams of butane (C₄H₁₀), convert to moles (using the molar mass), convert to moles of CO₂ (using coefficients from equation), then convert to molecules (using Avagadro's number). The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is calculated using the quantity of each element (subscript) multiplied by the number on the periodic table. The ratios should be arranged in a way that allows for units to be cancelled.

4(12.011g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol) = 58.124 g/mol C₄H₁₀

100 grams C₄H₁₀          1 mol C₄H₁₀             8 mol CO₂          
--------------------------  x  ----------------------  x  ---------------------  
                                        58.124 g              2 mol C₄H₁₀          

    6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------------------------  =  4.14 x 10²⁴ molecules CO₂
              1 mol CO₂

What is the composition, in atom percent, of an alloy that contains a) 45.5 lbm of silver, b) 83.7 lbm of gold, and c) 6.3 lbm o
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

\% atAg=44.6\%\\\% atAu=44.9\%\\\% atCu=10.5\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for computing the atom percent, one must obtain the number of atoms of silver, gold and copper as shown below:

atomsAg=45.5lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAg}{1molAg}=1.15x10^{26}atomsAg\\atomsAu=83.7lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAu}{196.97gAu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsAu}{1molAu}=1.16x10^{26}atomsAu\\atomsCu=6.3lbm*\frac{453.59g}{1lbm}*\frac{1molAg}{63.55gCu}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}atomsCu}{1molCu}=2.71x10^{25}atomsCu

Thus, the atom percent turns out:

\% atAg=\frac{1.15x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.6\%\\\% atAu=\frac{1.16x10^{26}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =44.9\%\\\% atCu=\frac{2.71x10^{25}}{1.15x10^{26}+1.16x10^{26}+2.71x10^{25}}*100\% =10.5\%

Best regards.

<span>When cooking frozen cheese ravioli, you should use three quarts of water instead of one so that the raviolis have room to move around in the boiling water and so that while they are moving around, they will not stick to each other or the pan.</span>
