The given solution of Mn²⁺ is 0.60 mg/mL.
Hence mass of Mn²⁺ in 5 mL of solution = 0.60 mg/mL x 5 mL = 3 mg
Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g/mol
Hence, moles of Mn²⁺ = 3 x 10⁻³ g / 54.9 g/mol = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol
The balanced equation for the reaction is,
2Mn²⁺ + 5KIO₄ + 3H₂O → 2MnO₄⁻ + 5KIO₃ + 6H⁺
The stoichiometric ratio between Mn²⁺ and KIO₄ is 2 : 5
Hence, moles of KIO₄ reacted = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol x (5 / 2)
= 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol
Molar mass of KIO₄ = 230 g/mol
Hence needed mass of KIO₄ = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol x 230 g/mol
= 0.031395 g
= 31.395 mg
≈ 31.4 mg
The correct answer is option b, that is, triggered by changes in the weather.
Hibernation refers to a state of lower metabolism and inactivity usually witnessed in endotherms. This condition is featured by a slow heart rate, slow breathing, low metabolic rate, and low body temperature. It assists the majority of the endotherms to thrive in the cold seasons. For example, hibernation of a bear in winters. Therefore, weather change can stimulate hibernation.
