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

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

How does the displacement moved affect the amount of work done?
Sholpan [36]

The displacement affect the amount of work done by the fact that more displacement implies more work.

Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Work can be defined as the "measure of energy transfer" that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force which is applied in the "direction of the displacement".

Work can be formulated as,

W = (F \times s)\  N / m \\ \\Work = ( Force \times Displacement )\   Newton/meter

From the above-mentioned formula, we can infer that Work is directly proportional to the displacement of the object.Therefore, more the work is more will be its displacement.

How many atoms of hydrogen are there in 3.0kg of ethane
kvasek [131]
Ethane has the formula C2H6.
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Therefore:
molar mass of ethane = 2(12) + 6(1) = 30 grams

This means that each 30 grams of ethane contains 6 grams of hydrogen. To know how many grams of hydrogen are in 3000 grams of ethane (3 kg), we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
mass of hydrogen = (3000 x 6) / 30 = 600 grams

How does mass and volume affect sinking and floating? Please don't plagiarize.... ​
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in (fluid can mean liquid or gas), it will sink. If it has a lower density, it will float. Density is determined by an object's mass and volume. If two objects take up the same volume, but have one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.
