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

Study the graph about oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen Content of Earth apostrophe s Atmosphere line graph. X axis i
Anika [276]

Explanation:

from the graph study about oxygen content of Earth's atmosphere, we can understand that  

1)

4 billions year ago = None, 3 billions year ago = Cyanobacteria and Archaea , 2 and 1 billions year ago = Bacteria and Green algae , 500 Ma = invertebrate fossils started to existence. Early land plants came in to existence around 398 MA that is Devonian. Dinosaurs are came in to existence during Triassic and Jurassic that is around 251 Ma. Man and animals are recent organism came under Holocene that is 11000 years ago.

2)

The first cells on the earth are anaerobic microorganisms, as the CO2 level is too high they survive by using CO2.

3)

Starting around 2.7 billion years ago, photosynthesis by Cyanobacteria and later plants , pumped “OXYGEN” in to the atmosphere. This caused the decline of anaerobic bacteria and allows the diversification of animals as seen in “CAMBRIAN” around 500 millions year ago.  

Early vascular plants “CAPTURED” CO2 starting before the Carboniferous period that began around 350 millions year.Leading to lower temperatures and allowing and allowing the seed plants to outcompetes seedless plants.

Modern human activities has raised both “CO2 and METHANE” level in the atmosphere to over leading to higher temperature and extinction of other species.

Which of the following are second-order reactions? a. C2H6 → 2 CH3 b. 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2 c. 2 HI → H2 + I2 d. 2 N2O → 2 N2 + O2
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The answer is b, c, d, e

Explanation:

b. 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2

r = k [N2O5]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

c. 2 HI → H2 + I2

r = k [HI]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

d. 2 N2O → 2 N2 + O2

r = k [N2O]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

e. 2 NO2 → 2 NO + O2

r = k [NO2]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

Name the plant cell organelle where<br> photosynthesis occurs.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

chloroplast organelle

Answer. The photosynthesis process takes place in the chloroplast organelle in the growing tissues. As the chlorophyll pigment is available in the chloroplast organelle which is the main photosynthetic pigment, with the help of the molecules they capture the energy of light.

Explanation:

chloroplasts

In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.
