What is the oxidation number of manganese (Mn) in potassium permanganate (KMnO4)?

Chemistry

Answer:

+7

Explanation:

Within every molecule, there is always an oxidation number assigned to every individual atom within the molecule. Hydrogen will always have an oxidation number of +1 (because it only has one electron to give, and when it gives that electron, it has a charge of +1).

Elements in group 1 always have an oxidation number of +1, and elements in group 16 always have an oxidation number of -2. Using this information we can calculate the oxidation number of Mn in the molecule KMnO₄.

Overall the molecule is neutral, so all the oxidation numbers would add up to zero:

K + Mn + O₄ = 0

(+1) + Mn + 4(-2) = 0

(+1) + Mn + (-8) = 0

Mn + (-7) = 0

Mn = +7

An I.V. infusion order is received for Lidocaine 2 g in 250 ml of 0.9% NaCl to be infused at 3 mg/min. What will the flow rate b
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The flow rate would be 22.5ml/hr

Explanation:

Volumetric flow rate = Mass flow rate ÷ density

Mass flow rate = 3mg/min = 3mg/min × 60min/1hr = 180mg/hr

Density = mass/volume = 2g/250ml = 0.008g/ml = 0.008g/ml × 1000mg/1g = 8mg/ml

Volumetric flow rate = 180mg/hr ÷ 8mg/ml = 22.5ml/hr

The combustion method used to analyze for carbon and hydrogen can be adapted to give percentage N by collecting the nitrogen fro
12345 [234]

Answer:

The percentage of N in the compound is 0.5088

Explanation:

Mass of compound = 8.75 mg = 8.75×1000 = 8750 g

Mass of N2 = number of moles of N2 × MW of N2 = 1.59 × 28 = 44.52 g

% of N in the compound = (mass of N2/mass of compound) × 100 = (44.52/8750) × 100 = 5.088×10^-3 × 100 = 0.5088

When hno2 dissociates in water, which atom is dontaing electrons, allowing water to act as a lewis base?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer to this is O-atom.

Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.

A^+ + B^- \rightarrow A-B

where A^+ is the Lewis Acid and B^- is the Lewis Base and A-B is the Covalent Bond.

Reaction of dissociation of HNO2 in H_2O is given as:

HNO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_2^-

In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from HNO_2 forming a Lewis Base.
