Answer: 6.

Explanation:

1) Aluminum

Al^0-3e^----\ \textgreater \ Al^{3+}

So each atom of aluminum lost 3 electrons to pass from 0 oxidation state to 3+ oxidation state.

2) Manganesium

Mn^{2+}+2e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ Mn

So, each ion of Mn(2+) gained 2 electrons pass from 2+ oxidation state to 0.

3) Balance

Multiply aluminum half-reaction (oxidation) by 2 and multiply manganesium half-raction (reduction) by 3:

2Al^{0}-6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}

3Mn^{2+}+6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 3Mn^{0}

4) Net equation

Add the two half-equations:

2Al^{0}+3Mn^{2+}----\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}+3Mn^{0}

As you see the left side has 2 Al, 3Mn, and 3*2 positive charges.

The right side has 2 Al, 3 Mn, and 2*3 positive charges.

So, the equation is balanced.

5) Count the number of electrons involved.

As you see 2 atoms of aluminum lost 6 electrons (3 each).

That is the answer to the question. 6 electrons will be lost.

Why do we use 51.0mL of NaOH but only 50.0mL of HCl?
bixtya [17]

Answer

Na OH reacts with H Cl and forms Na Cl and H₂O

NaOH + HCl   →   NaCl + H₂O                                              

Here we can see that  1 mole of NaOH reacting with 1 mole of HCl and forming 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of H₂O

when  NaOH and HCl are added together in equal amount then they will completely neutralize each other but NaOH is hygroscopic in nature which means it can absorb water from air so it will not be weighted accurately.

hence, for neutralization we will take extra NaOH.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 31.9% potassium, 28.9% chlorine, and 39.2% oxygen?
notsponge [240]
The  empirical formula  for a compound   is KClO3

     Explanation 
 
find  the  moles of each  element
moles  = % composition/molar  mass

molar  mass of  of  potassium =39g/mol ,chlorine = 35.5 g/mol, oxygen =16 g/mol

moles  of potassium  =  31.9 / 39 = 0.818  moles
moles of  chlorine    = 28.9/35.5 = 0.814 moles
moles of   oxygen  =  39.2/  16 =  2.45  moles


find the  mole ratio  by  dividing   with  the smallest  mole = 0.814  moles

potassium = 0.818/0.814  =1  
chlorine  =  0.814/0.814 = 1
oxygen =  2.45 /0.814 =3 


the empirical  formula   is therefore = KClO3
