Role of a catalysts in chemical reactions:
Catalyst is a substance, usually used in small amounts relative to the reactants, that modifies and increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the process.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

$2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O$

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

$2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}$

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!

When 16.0 g of an unknown compound (a nonelectrolyte) are dis solved in exactly 800. g of water, the solution has a freezing poi

dexar [7]

Answer:

A. 266g/mol

Explanation:

A colligative property of matter is freezing point depression. The formula is:

ΔT = i×Kf×m (1)

Where:

ΔT is change in temperature (0°C - -0,14°C = 0,14°C)i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for a nonelectrolyte dissolved in water), kf is freezing point molar constant of solvent (1,86°Cm⁻¹) and m is molality of the solution (moles of solute per kg of solution). The mass of the solution is 816,0g

Replacing in (1):

0,14°C = 1×1,86°Cm⁻¹× mol Solute / 0,816kg

0,0614 = mol of solute.

As molar mass is defined as grams per mole of substance and the compound weights 16,0g:

16,0g / 0,0614 mol = 261 g/mol ≈ A. 266g/mol

I hope it helps!
