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⁻

What volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be produced if 2.90 moles of it on (Fe) is produced?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

= 97.44 Liters at S.T.P

Explanation:

The reaction between Iron (iii) oxide and Carbon monoxide is given by the equation;

Fe2O3(s)+ 3CO(g) → 3CO2(g) + 2Fe(s)

From the reaction when the reactants react, 2 moles of Fe and 3 moles of CO2 are produced.

Therefore; Mole ratio of Iron : Carbon dioxide is 2:3

Thus; Moles of Carbon dioxide = (2.9/2)×3

                                                   = 4.35 moles

But; 1 mole of CO2 at s.t.p occupies 22.4 liters

Therefore;

Mass of CO2 = 22.4 × 4.35 Moles

                     = 97.44 L
