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 can help overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid
IgorC [24]

Answer: D. An increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an disordered arrangement to an ordered arrangement, the entropy is said to increase and vice versa.

For a reaction to be spontaneous, the enthalpy of the solution must decrease and the entropy must increase.

To overcome a positive enthalpy of solution and allow a solid  solute to dissolve in water, an increase in entropy would make the reaction spontaneous as the system would move to a more disordered state.

29.47 mL of a solution of the acid HBr is titrated, and 72.90 mL of 0.2500-M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point. Ca
Klio2033 [76]

The original concentration of the acid solution is 6.175 \times 10^-4 mol / L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume

                        HBr + NaOH -----> NaBr + H2O

There is a 1:1 equivalence with acid and base.

Moles of NaOH = 72.90 \times 10^-3 \times 0.25

                          = 0.0182 mol.

[ HBr ] = moles of base / volume of a solution

          = 0.0182 / 29.47

          = 6.175 \times 10^-4 mol / L.

What is the molality (m) of a solution that contains 76.5 g of KCl dissolved in 85.0 g of<br> water?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

76.5g KCl/74.55 grams per mole Kcl = x

molality= x/.085 kg H2O

Explanation:

well remember molality is moles of solute/kilograms of solvent. So it's the moles of KCl over 85 g of h20 converted into kg. if this makes sense.
