What is the oxidation number of Mn in kmno4

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

A gas at STP has a volume of 1.00 L. If the pressure is doubled and the temperature remains constant, what is the news of the ga
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: PV = nRT

A gas at STP... This means that the temperature is 0°C and pressure is 1 atm.

R is the gas constant which is 0.08206 L*atm/(K*mol)

Rearranging for volume

V = nRT/P

The temperature and number of moles are held constant. This means that this uses Boyle's Law. (The ideal gas law could be manipulated to give us this result when T and n are held constant.)

PV = k

where k is a constant.

This means that

P₁V₁ = k = P₂V₂

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

(1 atm) * (1 L) = (2 atm) * V₂

V₂ = 0.5 L

The new volume of the gas is 0.5 L.

How can we find the volume of this fish tank? Please I needed but Good
lawyer [7]
Volume well in the picture the fish tank seems to be a rectangle, so you would do V=length x width x height. So V=5x3x3=45

In the forward reaction of this equilibrium, which substance acts as the Brønsted-Lowry base? H2S(aq)+CH3NH2(aq)⇋HS−(aq)+CH3NH+3
timama [110]
H2S donates a proton, therefore it is a Brønsted-Lowry base; CH3NH2 accepts a proton, so it’s a Brønsted-Lowry base.

1) number of moles of N2 = n/2

2) Number of moles of CH4 = n/2

3) Total number of moles of the mixture = n/2 + n/2 = n

4) Kg of N2

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of N2 = 2 * 14.0 g/mol = 28 g/mol

=> mass of N2 in grams = (n/2) * 28 = 14n

mass of N2 in Kg = mass of N2 in grams * [1 kg / 1000g] = 14n/1000 kg = 0.014n kg

Answer: mass of N2 in kg = 0.014n kg
