What is the oxidation number of Mn in kmno4

Chemistry

KMnO₄ has an overall neutral charge, so that means that the total oxidation numbers should sum up to 0.

Oxygen will almost always have an oxidation number of -2, and K, because it is a group 1A metal, has an oxidation number of +1

There are 4 oxygens so the total oxidation number is 4*-2 = -8
And K has an oxidation number of +1

We are trying to find out the oxidation number of Mn. Remember since our compound is neutral, the sum of the oxidation numbers should be 0. So if we call the oxidation number of Mn as X, we then know that

X + (-8) + 1 = 0
X = -1 + 8
X = 7

Therefore, Mn has an oxidation number of 7.

Since O almost always has a charge of -2, the oxygen atoms have an overall charge of -8 (-2*4)

Since K has a charge of +1, that brings the overall charge to -7 (-8+1)

Then, in order for the overall charge to be 0, Mn would have to have a change of +7 (-7+7=0)

Hope this helps

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 17.26% of carbon

Explanation:

Data

CxHy = 0.2121 g

BaCO₃ = 0.6006 g

Molecular mass BaCO₃ = 137 + 12 + 48 = 197 g

Reaction

                    CO₂  +  Ba(OH)₂  ⇒   BaCO₃  +  H₂O

Process

1.- Find the amount of carbon in BaCO₃

                              197 g of BaCO₃   ---------------  12 g of Carbon

                               0.6006 g           ----------------    x

                               x = (0.6006 x 12) / 197

                               x = 0.0366 g of carbon

2.- Calculate the percentage of carbon in the organic compound

           0.2121 g of organic compound  ---------------  100%

           0.0366g                                       --------------    x

                              x = (0.0366 x 100) / 0.2121

                              x = 17.26%

How many moles are in 1.9 x 10^25 molecules of carbon dioxide
Mashcka [7]
1 mole ----------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? moles --------- 1.9x10²⁵ molecules

moles = 1.9 x 10²⁵ * 1 / 6.02x10²³

= 1.9 x 10²⁵ / 6.02x10²³

= 31.561 moles

hope this helps!
