A student balances the following redox reaction using half-reactions.

ICE Princess25 [194]

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.

0.500 mile of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (

SCORPION-xisa [38]

The correct question is as follows: 0.500 moles of potassium oxide is dissolved in enough water to make 2.00 L of solution. Calculate the molarity of this solution (plz help!)

Answer: The molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.

Explanation:

Molarity is the number of moles of a substance divided by volume in liter.

As it is given that there are 0.5 moles of potassium oxide in 2.00 L of water so, the molarity of this solution is calculated as follows.

$Molarity = \frac{moles}{volume(in L)}\\= \frac{0.5 moles}{2.00 L}\\= 0.25 M$

Thus, we can conclude that molarity of this solution is 0.25 M.
