Answer: c. +4
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here manganese is having an oxidation state of +4 called as cation and oxygen forms an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged to give 
which written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral 
Answer:
The adhesive is made up of two different layers.
The lower layer is made up of vertically aligned nanotubes.
The upper layer is made up of curly, spaghetti-like, nanotubes.
Answer:
6.22 × 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction
HC₆H₅COO ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻ + H⁺
Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺
The pH of the solution is 2.78.
pH = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.78 = 1.66 × 10⁻³ M
Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of the benzoic acid
We will use the following expression.
Ca = mass HC₆H₅COO/molar mass HC₆H₅COO × liters of solution
Ca = 0.541 g/(122.12 g/mol) × 0.100 L = 0.0443 M
Step 4: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) for benzoic acid
We will use the following expression.
Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca
Ka = (1.66 × 10⁻³)²/0.0443 = 6.22 × 10⁻⁵
